The
army in which I work, forces me to shave off my beard
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
I have a friend who shaved off his beard, and I admonished
him for it, so he told me: "The system within the army
in which I work in my country forces me to shave off my beard".
So is this permissible? (Please) advise us, and may Allaah
reward you with good.
Response:
In the Name of Allaah, and all Praise is for Allaah (alone).
If they force him to do that, then he should not work for
them, and he must resign if he is truthful. Either they allow
him not to shave off his beard, or he must resign, and Allaah
will provide a job with more blessings than their job (in
the army), (as He (Subhaanahu
wa Ta'aala) says):
{And
whosoever fears Allaah and keeps his duty to Him, He will
make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty)},
[Soorah
at-Talaaq, Aayah
2].
