He had his beard shaved by the barber, then he repented – so should he pay the barber?
Question: 4642
A man had his beard shaved, and said (to
the barber), “I will pay you later, I owe you.” Then Allaah guided him and he
began to follow the Islamic rulings [i.e., he grew a beard]. Should he pay the barber or
not?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih
al-‘Uthaymeen, may Allaah preserve him, and he answered as follows:
He should tell him: “I am not going to give you the money, because
it was (in payment for) a haraam deed,” and he should give it away in charity. And
Allaah knows best.
