Forbidden fashion: Fancy beard trims barred (in KP)

[Mian Babban]

The Frontier Provincial Hairdressers and Beauticians Association have advised all hairdressers registered with the body to avoid cutting beards or shaving them in a ‘fashionable’ way (such as a goatee).

The advisory warned that violators would face a heavy fine. Members of the association have started spreading the message in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa by displaying the notice on their shops and distributing pamphlets at hairdressing shops in Mardan, Peshawar and other cities of the province.

The demand is formulated on the belief that cutting beards or shaping them in ‘stylish’ ways was against the teachings of Islam. President of the association, Sulaimani, said that customers could not force hairdressers to make designs in beards after displaying the pamphlets at shops.

Well done! Pakistan is getting closer and closer to complete Sharia day by day.

Stupid mullahism ... Instead of focusing on real issues and social ills like poverty, illness, environmental polution, hunger, or illiteracy... They rather focus on facial hair, head caps, head scarfs, pant length... What bunch of morons!... Loosers!!!

Sharia is in the beard?

Jazbati na ho mayri jan ...... sooj bhooj kay jawab day.

Beard in itself is not going to get you any rewards? True?

It's haram for men to shave certain parts of their face.

Nothing except that has been declared Haram by Quran ....... can be classified Haram by any mortal petty human.

Please don't take haram halal business in our hands.

Rasulullah (Peace Be Upon Him) commanded us to grow our beards so we could differentiate ourselves from the mushrikeen, as stated numerous sahih ahadith.

All the major scholars (As Shafi, Ibn Malik, Ibn Hanbal, Abu Hanifa, Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn Baz, Ibn Kathir, Al Tabari, Al Bukhari, Muslim, etc) also agree that removing the beard is haram.

The only area of dispute is what counts as the beard (some say it's everything on the face, others say it's only the hair that grows on your jawbone, etc).

Buddy Halal and Haram cannot be selective, it would equally apply to everyone male female ...... according to your understanding of halal and haram ......... the females get exempted, and the males who somehow cannot grow a beard are exempt ....... this whole idea is not just.

 

[Menace2Society]

Why dont you spend your time building the economy instead of worrying about facial hair, what a bunch of monkeys. KPK needs to be a dose of secularisation, radicalised mess must be the education.

Why do we have the goatee police? F--kers can't afford enough teachers but we have the goatee police. Next week they will be doing random checks to see the length of pubic hair.

I don't care if you view it as "unjust", cry me a river for all I care. If you are a man who can grow and beard and you remove/trim parts which you are not allowed to remove/trim, you are doing what is clearly known as haram.

Just because you don't like it doesn't suddenly make it halal.

Anyway, your logic is still pretty dumb. Would you rather women and men who can't grow beards were punished? That's just crazy.
