Shaving the beard is forbidden
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I was forced to shave my beard after Hajj and before my trip to Egypt so that I could continue working. What is the ruling on this? And what do you advise me? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
You are not permitted to shave your beard; it is obligatory for you to let it grow and maintain it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in an authentic hadith:Sahih Muslim 260. Do not shave it just because so-and-so says that you will not be hired unless you shave it. Provision is with Allah, [At-Talaq 65:2] and He provides for him from where he does not expect [Al-Talaq:3-3]. Do not shave it, and you will find work with others. Fear Allah, and He will make a way out for you.

Answer:
You are not permitted to shave your beard; it is obligatory for you to let it grow and maintain it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in an authentic hadith:
Trim closely the moustache, and grow beard, and thus act against the fire-worshippers.
قصوا الشوارب وأرخوا اللحى، خالفوا المشركينAnd whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out
وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا
