“Men with a lot of skin exposure end up with leathery skin and increase in wrinkles,” Dermatologist Bobby Buka, founder of Greenwich Village Dermatology and section chief at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, told The Huffington Post. “There’s a condition known as dermatoheliosis — that is chronic sun damage. The manifestion of that is spots, saggy skin and wrinkled skin.”<\/p>\n

As Jonha Revesencio mentioned in her HuffPost blog, “Science Explains Why a Beard Makes You Look Hotter,” beards are able to block up to 95 percent of the sun’s harmful UV rays. Citing researchers from the University of Southern Queensland, Revesencio explained that a beard can mitigate sun damage and even reduce a man’s risk of contracting skin cancer<\/p>\n

A beard can ward off throat disease.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Facial hair can help keep airborne bacteria out of your mouth, which assists in protecting your throat. The effectiveness of the beard has been documented as far back as 1875! In the book Pulmonary Tuberculosis: Its Pathology, Nature, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Prognosis, Causes, Hygiene, and Medical Treatment, Dr. Addison P. Dutcher<\/p>\n

A beard can reduce the chances of bacterial infection. (Bye bye, acne!)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Beards can add an extra layer of protection from infections. While bacteria naturally exists on the skin, shaving can create openings that bring in the bacteria and lead to infections and ingrown hairs. Not shaving can also reduce acne flare-ups.<\/p>\n

According to the book The Acne Cure, by Terry J. Dubrow and Brenda D. Adderly, shaving can bring on acne breakouts, worsen existing acne and contribute to acne-related skin infections, per an article on Livestrong.com<\/a> quoting the book.<\/p>\n

In Islam<\/strong><\/h3>\n

IF YOU ARE STILL WILLINGLY TO CUT’S YOUR BEARD, AT YOUR OWN AGE, WALLaHI WHICH MEANS THAT YOU DON’T ACTUALLY KNOWN WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shaving the beard is haraam because of the saheeh ahaadeeth that clearly state this, and because of the general application of texts that forbid resembling the kuffaar. One of these reports is the hadeeth of Hadith of Abdullah Ibn Umar<\/p>\n

1. Narrated Nafi\u2019: Ibn Umar said, The Prophet said, \u2018Do the opposite of what the pagans do. Keep the beard s and cut the moustaches short.\u2019 Whenever Ibn \u2018Umar performed the Hajj or \u2018Umra, he used to hold his beard with his hand and cut whatever moustaches. Ibn Umar used to cut his moustache so short that the whiteness of his skin (above the upper lip) was visible, and he used to cut (the hair) between his moustaches and his beard . (Bukhari Book 72 Hadith 780)<\/p>\n

2. According to another report: \u2018 Be different from the mushrikeen: cut the moustache and let the beard grow. \u201d Narrated by Muslim, 602.<\/p>\n

3. And Muslim (383) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: \u201cTrim the moustache and let the beard grow; be different from the Magians (Zoroastrians). \u201d<\/p>\n

4. On one occasion, when the Prophet s.a.w received two of Kissra\u2019s11 emissaries, he disliked to look at them when he saw that they were shaven and with grown
\nmustaches. He \u03c1 said:
\n\u201cWoe to you! Who ordered you to do this? They said: \u201cOur Lord (meaning their
\nKissra)\u201d. The Messenger of Allaah \u03c1 then said: \u201c But my Rabb (Allaah) ordered me to let my beard grow and to trim my mustache.\u201d<\/p>\n

The imperative wording in the Prophet\u2019s statement indicates that it is obligatory to comply with the command, and as such, the one who complies will be rewarded and the one who does not is subject to punishment (i.e. as Allaah (Subhanahu wa taala) wishes).<\/p>\n

5. Mother of the Believers, \u2018Aisha \ufead\ufebf\ufef2 \ufe8d\ufedf\ufee0\ufeea \ufecb\ufee8\ufeec\ufe8e , said that the Prophet s.a.w said:<\/p>\n

\u201cTen are the acts of Fitrah: clipping the mustache, letting the beard grow, using as-Siwaak, snuffing up water in the nose, cutting the nails, washing the finger joints, plucking the hair under the armpits, shaving the pubes, and cleaning one\u2019s private parts with water. The narrator said, \u2018I have forgotten the tenth, but it may have been rinsing the mouth.’\u201d { Muslim in his Saheeh, V.1, hadeeth # 502. }
\nThe Fitrah is the state upon which the creation of Allaah\u2019s bondsmen has been initiated. He implanted within their nature, its execution, an inclination towards it, and a tendency to like it; He brought them to dislike what contradicts it. In fact, if a man abandons the qualities of Fitrah, his feature will no longer be like that of human being,-then how should one from amongst the common people of Islam, the Deen of Fitrah, be?!<\/p>\n

The person on a straight Fitrah which is not spoiled by the influence of the surrounding environment, keeps inclined by his nature to dislike anything of his body that is not part of its natural beauty. He is also inclined to like the created characteristics of Fitrah, even in the absence of any revealed legislation concerning them. So, how about when they came within the Laws revealed to all of the Prophets from Allaah?<\/p>\n

As-Suyuti, may Allah\u2019s Mercy be upon him, said: \u201cThe best that has been said about the explanation of Fitrah is that it is the old Sunnah (way) chosen by the Prophets which is in agreement with (all) the revealed Laws, thus, indicating that it is a matter upon which they have been created.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: \u201cThe Qur\u2019aan, Sunnah and ijmaa\u2019 (scholarly consensus) all indicate that we must differ from the kuffaar in all aspects and not imitate them, because imitating them on the outside will make us imitate them in their bad deeds and habits, and even in beliefs, which will result in befriending them in our hearts, just as loving them in our hearts will lead to imitating them on the outside.<\/p>\n

Al-Tirmidhi reported that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, \u201cHe is not one of us who imitates people other than us. Do not imitate the Jews and Christians.\u201d According to another version: \u201cWhoever imitates a people is one of them.\u201d (Reported by Imaam Ahmad) \u2018Umar ibn al-Khattaab rejected the testimony of the person who plucked his beard.<\/p>\n

Imaam Ibn \u2018Abd al-Barr said in al-Tamheed: \u201cIt is forbidden to shave the beard, and no one does this except men who are effeminate\u201d i.e., those who imitate women. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had a thick beard (reported by Muslim from Jaabir).<\/p>\n
