Shaving the Beard for Non-Muslims
What is the ruling on a barber who shaves the beards of men who are not committed to the religion or who are non-Muslims?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is disliked to shave the beard out of dislike for wrongdoing; because it is a Sunnah for the Muslim man, unlike shaving it for a non-Muslim, which is not disliked. And God knows best.
