Is it compulsory for a qaari to have a beard?

Answer

It is Waajib (compulsory) for every Muslim male to have a beard. It is doubly Waajib for a Qaari to have a beard. The qaari without a beard will reside in that abysmal pit of Jahannum called Jubbul Huzn. Regarding this terrible abode reserved for qaaris, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that Jahannum itself seeks refuge from Allah Ta'ala of its heat 400 times daily.
