Obeying parents in shaving one’s beard
Question: 1176
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
Shaving the beard is haraam, and it is not permissible to do it for a parent or leader or boss, because obedience is only a duty in matters that are good and righteous. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There is no obedience to any created being (person) if it involves disobedience to the Creator.”
