It is not permissible for a Muslim to obey a creature in disobedience to the Creator. The exemption of the beard and the prohibition of shaving it have been emphasized in previous fatwas. You should strive to guide your husband and encourage her towards the Sunnah so that she becomes convinced of religious practices and dislikes acts of disobedience.
