Walaikum Sallam, I dont think so somebody straight way would asked this. People usually show it with their attitude. Might be someone is asked as this world is a mess; full of happenings.

Never Give up

As Salamu Alaikum, Savant.I was asking this because some jobs require a certain look,and or requirement such as I use to be a welder and some jobs that dont have the proper ventalation require you to wear a respirator,and you cant wear a respirator with a long beard.

Wa Alaikum Salaam,

I havent faced such a situation but I know of a Srilankan bro who quit his job in Qatar, cuz the company wanted him to shave his beard.

As Salamu Alaikum, Saladin.I feel him Ahki,I'm about to go back to school to get more work skill maybe an assciate degree(Inshallah).It makes everything more frustrating when you have to choose a field to work in based on if you would be required to shave your beard.

I know you can trim,but not shave, and Ive read in Hadith that our beard should be fist length.I also was thinking about dying it red like Prophet Muhammed(Saw)I got a little grey.

Akhe, remember, "necessity overrides prohibition". So consult a wise scholar regarding your problem.

Btw, I dont know whether the Prophet dyed or not but I've learnt that its allowed, red, brown but not black.

Having a beard isn't Farj, shaving isn't harmful for your boady either. So it's completely your choice.

But I won't appreciate shaving as asked by employer, if I want to have my beard & feel good with it. I won't walk in for a type of job which is not suitable with beard either.

As Salamu Alaikum, nuoo1.Having a beard is'nt Fajir you mean.shaving is'nt harmful for your body.I chose not to because Prophet Muhammed(Saw) says:The beard is a sign a mans natural beauty.Sounds to me that shaving it is like one who whats to be like a woman.I never look at shaving as an option.Just wanted to know if any brothers have had this experience because their's a high percentage of us that have beard.
