    In Islam, opinions on shaving the beard vary. While some scholars consider it haram (forbidden) based on Hadiths that encourage men to grow their beards, others view it as permissible or makruh (discouraged but not sinful). The differing views often depend on cultural and jurisprudential interpretations within different Islamic schools of thought.
