Is it permissible to live with two men who shave their beards, one of whom is observant of prayer, and the other's situation is unknown, in a foreign country, while advising them?
Your neighbor, who prays and gives charity, possesses immense goodness. Shaving the beard is a sin that has become widespread among Muslims. However, one should not abandon or boycott someone who does this; rather, it is obligatory to accompany them with advice, delivered with wisdom and good admonition. Cohabiting with a Muslim who prays and performs good deeds is not forbidden merely because he shaves his beard, especially if he has good character and is receptive to advice. Take the initiative to cooperate with your colleagues in good deeds, such as establishing prayer and reciting the Qur'an, and invite them to Allah through your character and conduct.
