What is the ruling on a sincere advisor's insistence that one shave his beard, despite the advised person presenting private and serious reasons for his inability to do so, which has led to the advised person's anger and the possibility of his abandoning the advisor?
One should advise gently and wisely, while frequently supplicating for the advised person, explaining the rulings to them, and encouraging them with what is mentioned in the revelation. If the advised person becomes angry and shuns the advisor, without the advisor being the cause of hurting their feelings, then there is no blame upon the advisor. The advisor should continue to call upon the advised person and maintain contact with them.
