Question |
What have respected Islamic scholars and Muftis ruled on receiving wage for shaving a beard? Is it Halal or Haraam? |
بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ |
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ |
It is Wajib to grow a beard at least up to a fist-length. Shaving it or having it shaved are both Haraam. Since it is impermissible and a sin to employ anyone to do a Haraam work, wage for such a work is also Haraam. This money must be returned to the person it was taken from. If the person is no longer alive, then give it to his heirs. If their whereabouts are not known, give it to Shari’ah-declared Faqeer [destitute] people as Sadaqah. |
وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ وَرَسُوْلُہ اَعْلَم صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم |
