5. It is permissible to grow the beard more than the Shari’i limit of one fist. However - according to our Imams and scholars - to let the beard grow such that it becomes extremely out of proportion, and which shall be a incite people to point fingers and make humor out of that person, is offensive and disapproved of. [Lum’ah al-duha fi I’fa al-Luha (Imam Ahmad Rida Khan), Fatawa Radawiyyah, Vol. 22, Pages 571/573] 6. To shave off completely or trim the beard very short once is a minor sin and to habitually do so is a major sin. This continuous act will make you a Faasiq-e-Mu’lin (certified transgressor) and the Court of Shari’ah will reject you as a valid witness. To perform Salaah with Jama’at behind such a person is forbidden and if Salaah performed, it will be incumbent to repeat that Salaah. If one does not do so, then one will be a great sinner. [Malfoozat-e-AlaHazrat, Vol. 1, Page 141] 7. It is Haram to shave the beard, either one acts on his own or gets it shaved from someone else and the earning from it is also Haram.
