Wife asks her husband to shave his beard

Question

If husband have beared and wife ask her husband for clean shave is that effect thier nikkah.

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

If a woman asks her husband to shave his beard, this does not affect their marriage, rather they remain as husband and wife. However, it is not permissible for the wife to ask her husband to shave his beard. In this regard, please refer to Fatwa 84475. Moreover, it is not permissible for a man to shave his beard whether or not his wife orders him to do so; in this regard please refer to Fatwa 89795.

Finally, it should be noted that the wife should help her husband in holding fast to his religion and she should love what Allaah and His Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) love, and hate what Allaah and His Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) hate.

Allaah Knows best.
