Osama Bin Laden and his Beard

[darkhero]

If he shaves his beard, probably he can travel around the world freely.

I noticed many Muslims have beards, just wonder if this is related to religion. But it seems most Chinese Muslims don't have this.

Hope someone can give me an answer.

Thanks.

The answer depends on who you ask
Personally I don't look nice in a beard, so I don't keep one Notihgn to do with religion in that decision

Muslims usually have a beard. But nowadays people are more moderate, and don't practice such traditions if they feel uncomfortable with it. Chinese issue is a separate one though, The Chinese muslims are sort of isolated from the Middle East. They have their own traditions and culture. Similar is the case in neighboring countries. Another factor is that China doesn't promote the type of Islam that Pakistan or Middle East follow. They have a modified version of Islam, which reduces the chances of people turning up against the govt. They follow similar rules with other religions, by distributing modified Bible and Quran, and even the prayer places are monitored to avoid and uprising.

I have seen few muslims have beard, usually the religious ones. Some grow it later in life if their dear ones die(or something strange happens that forces self realization). Majority of them shave.
I hate the beard without moustache look.

In almost all religions, a beard is associated with faith. All the early christians had beard, all the prophets of scriptures had beards. To this day the priests of the orthodox church keep beards, as do orthodox rabbis of the jewish faith.The 'western' christian clergy seem to have not kept this custom.

Yes, it is. Beard is fardh (obligatory) in Islam. Some men might keep their beards because of culture too though.

 

[Uchiha]

According to the Qur'an the only person mentioned having a beard is Harûn(Aron) A.S. - and no where is it implied of being an obligation in any way.
So no - It's not obligatory, or is there in reward/punishment for not/having a beard.

That's what scholars say though.

Negative, beard is not fardh (obligatory) it is sunnat-e-muakkadah. means if you will grow beard then it is a good deed but if you will shave it then you are not sinful.

I did not say they're my beloved scholars. Muslims have showed me that site and they said it's very good. But that mermaid thing was very awkward...
