Is it permissible to work in a company that produces beard razors, knowing that shaving the beard is not from the Sharia according to the fatwa of Sheikh Al-Uthaymeen, and is this considered assisting in forbidden acts?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The basic principle regarding the production of shaving razors is permissibility and lawfulness, due to their multiple uses. However, it is forbidden to produce a type of razor that is known to be used exclusively for shaving beards, or if it is known that a specific community uses them only for shaving beards. This is based on the Almighty’s saying: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression."
