The question

Does the hadith "The people of Paradise will enter Paradise, beardless, with kohl-lined eyes, as thirty or thirty-three-year-olds" indicate that the men of Paradise will be without beards, and how should one respond to those who use it as proof for the permissibility of shaving the beard?

The answer

The mentioned is authentic, and its meaning is that the people of Paradise will enjoy beauty, strength, and perpetual youth; their clothes will not wear out, and their youth will not fade. The presence of a beard indicates a change in state and an advancement in age, which does not apply to the people of Paradise who are blessed with eternal youth. The beard is among the Sunan of Fitra in this world. As for the Hereafter, there is no obligation or action in it; rather, it is a realm of recompense and enduring bliss. The absence of a beard in Paradise does not imply the permissibility of shaving it, for the One who described the bliss of Paradise is the One who commanded the growing of the beard and forbade its shaving. This Hadith should not be used as evidence for the permissibility of shaving the beard.
