Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is shaving the beard a form of effeminacy?

Answer:
It may be included in that, but its ruling is specific. Shaving the beard is forbidden absolutely, even if one does not intend to be effeminate. It is forbidden for him to shave it absolutely, and if he intends to be effeminate, it becomes an evil upon an evil.
