There is no objection to working in barbering or massage if the controls are observed, bearing in mind that laxity in these controls leads to tribulations. It is advisable to stay away from massage because it often causes problems, and to continue in barbering provided no Sharia prohibition is committed, such as shaving the beard, and to deal firmly with those who call for indecency by threatening them with recourse to the authorities.
