The Permanent Committee

Q: Is the saying of Him (i.e. Allah):

وَلَأَمُرَنَّہُمۡ فَلَيُغَيِّرُنَّ خَلۡقَ ٱللَّهِ

And indeed I will order them to change the nature created by Allah

{An-Nisaa' 4:119}

An evidence against shaving the beard?

A: Yes, shaving the beard is included in the generality of what Allah, the Most High has mentioned in His Book, concerning Satan leading many people astray, for shaving it is changing Allah's creation and the Prophet (SAW) ordered that the beard be grown and the moustache be trimmed. And may peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Master, Muhammad and upon his family and companions.
