f:405 - Muslim barber taking payment for shaving the beard	Country : Pune, India, Name : submittername

Question: Is it correct for a Muslim barber to take money for cutting/shaving/trimming the beard? ............................................................................
Answer: Shaving the beard or trimming it less than 1 fistful is a sin. As given in Radd Ul Muhtaar, (Fasl Fil Ba’yah). Helping someone in a sin, obeying someone in that regard is not permissible as per the Shariah. Allah Ta’ala prohibits that in the Holy Quran in Surah Maida, verse No. 2. Thus, for a Muslim barber it is not permissible to accept any kind of payment for shaving or trimming the beard less than 1 fistful. And Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) knows best.
