Is it obligatory to grow a beard, or to obey one's parents if they forbid it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Shaving the beard is forbidden (), and it is not permissible to do so to obey a parent or a superior, because obedience is only in what is good (ma'ruf), and there is no obedience to a creature if it involves disobedience to the Creator.
