Is opening a barbershop that adheres to Sharia guidelines, does not shave beards, and plays Islamic materials considered a deed for which its owner will be rewarded, and is it deemed positive in Muslim countries, by analogy with the existence of men's tailoring shops that do not cut garments below the ankles?
Whoever performs work during Hajj seeking the countenance of Allah will be rewarded for it, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Indeed, actions are by intentions." This does not contradict seeking lawful profit and sustenance, as Allah Almighty says: "There is no blame upon you for seeking bounty from your Lord." This verse indicates the permissibility of trading during Hajj alongside performing worship, and that intending such does not constitute shirk. Ibn Jarir reported from a large number of the Salaf that this verse was revealed concerning trade during the Hajj season.
