Dear Chandra
A muslim (man and woman) is required to shave armpit and pubic hair for purity's sake. In fact, it is quite hygienic. It is considered a minor sin if armpit and pubic hair is not removed for 40 days. You may read Islamic Instructions for prayers or approach any learned Maulavi for your academic interest. However, beard is kept as sunnah or tradition of the prophet. It is not farz or obligatory. There is no Islamic punishment for shaving beard or not saying prayers. It does matter if beard does not grow. Allah Himself will decide. These people are making their own laws and passing them off as Islamic laws. According to Hadith or the Prophet's saying derived from Holy Quran, whoever makes his own law and passes of as Islamic is a Bedati or deviant. Only Allah knows what punishment is waiting for him in the hereafter. Because of a few stupids the whole muslim umma's name is sullied. Read the Quran and Hadith yourself, you will know.

Mohammed Arshad, I will be happy if you can give the required information in this board itself. Muslim Scholar or Hindu scholars or for that matter any scholar of any religion htese days are self motivated people. They explain things only according to their personal benefit.

Adi, you are right. No prophet told not to shave anywhere. Rest what you said are of no use for this serious discussion. Get lost.

Hope they don't check these points in public for men and women if there is a ban on shaving them.

Srinivas Vishnu, There will be no such checking. India is already short of barbars.

Hi Prakash, If we look in more specific manner in Islam a person can give his/her openion only whn is known about it like a MBBS doctor can tell you about illness or medically advice in better manner then a engineer.nowdays it very common that every giving his/her advice/thoughts without knowing anything about it.It you are really keen to know about the islam it is better to contact Mufti or you can contact peace tv website.

Sahar Alam, any Mufti or any TV channel are misleading these days. If you have the knowledge please pass it to rediff discussion. Do not spoil my academic interest.
