The answer

There is no religious impediment to wearing a necktie if the intention is adornment and not imitation of non-believers, because it has become a common custom for everyone. As for shaving the beard, it is forbidden, and there is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator. If the superior orders one to shave the beard, it is not permissible to obey him unless non-obedience would result in an unbearable harm. If it is known that the superior gradually moves an employee from bad to worse, it is preferable to leave the job and seek another.
