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?

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."
