Question
A young Mufti in Pakistan says that it is permissible to shave the beard. According to him there are no proofs for saying that it is haraam. He is a Hanafi. Please comment.
Answer
It is only a moron –a real jaahil who has fallen into shaitaan's trap – who will claim that it is permissible to shave the beard. We have published a bulky book which deals in detail with this issue. We have, Alhamdulillah, refuted this shaitaani view from every angle. Some morons who claim to be followers of the Shaafi Math-hab have also made the same claim as the Pakistani moron whom you call 'mufti'. No Mufti is capable of uttering such jahaalat.
