What is the ruling on one who owns a men's barbershop and shaves beards while disliking it, as he is unable to forbid anyone from doing so and possesses no other profession?
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded that beards be grown (or left untouched) due to the beauty and adornment they contain. It is narrated in the hadiths: "Trim the moustaches and leave the beards to grow," and "Trim the moustaches and let the beards hang down; differ from the Majus (Zoroastrians)." This command implies obligation, and shaving the beard is considered (forbidden) by scholars. Therefore, one must refrain from shaving beards. Instead, heads can be shaved and moustaches can be trimmed. "And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out and will provide for him from where he does not expect."
