same here, both my mom and my grandma keep saying that I look too old with beard.
"If you will be ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you in the day of resurection"
Who said i was ashamed? I simply want a trip which is hassle free. The last time i traveled, 3 years ago, i got stopped and searched in 4 airports within 24 hours.

I've still got a patch of Hair on my chin, which is the least requirement according to the Hanifi School of Thought.

Dont Mistake My Harshness For Strength And Neither Mistake My Kindness For Weakness.
Just thought i'd share a word of advise before i logged off.
I am not speaking against the beard,..Keeping a beard is Sunnah, allhumdulilah. But muslims have to quit this Romance they have with their beards. I know far too many muslims who would happily call another muslim a 'kaffir' or 'sell out' if the other Muslim is clean shaven.
A beard is not what makes one a Muslim. If it did, the George Lucus, Santa Claus, Billy the goat are all muslims.
But as we all know, that, in reality, is not the case.
Once again, i am not speaking against the beard, i am speaking against people who see a beard as something which seperates a Muslim from a Non-muslim.

Asalam alaikum,
Heres the funny thing,... when i traveled TO england, i was clean shaven. I had no problems.
On the way back, i had a beard, and i had a 'tope'/cap on, and i got stopped in 4 airports and got searched/interregated.
Now why do you think i shaved for 'them'?
Read my posts again. You seem to be missing the point.
Wa'salaam

Although I agree with you on the point, that merely having a beard does not make someone a great Muslim, the beard IS however not just Sunnah. It is Waajib, as the hadith pertaining to the beard are commands from the Prophet ordering us to lengthen the beard, and to shave is Haraam. The majority of Scholars hold this view.

I know your not ashamed, i mean that nobody has to keep you from practising you faith. This is the most important thing.
And i know about the airports. But you know, wheter you become like them or not! They will never accept you. Also brothers with no beard are searched and asked. As soon as they see an Arab, it's a terrorist! And the Prophet (May the peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) sayd this also. THEY will never accept you.
I don't know about the beard issue. I do not follow the Hanifi school (only). I follow the strongest opinion. And that is, let your beard grow and cut you mustage.
Wa Allahu a3lem.
But, i know what you mean about luggage and stuff. But you have to see what people did to our Prophet (May the peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him).

Asalam alaikum,
Yes, it is haram. But keep in mind, like i said, according to the Hanifi madhab, a Patch of hair on ones CHIN is the LEAST requirement. If one does grow a patch of hair on their chin, one is not living in Sin. Now, if i had COMPLETELY shaven my beard, then yes, i would be living in sin.
