Beards to stay in Bajaur
2007-02-12
Barbers in Bajaur Agency have decided not to shave menÂ’s beards following threats by unidentified men, the BBC Urdu service reported on Sunday. In an emergency meeting summoned at Inayat Kallay, five kilometres from Bajaur AgencyÂ’s main town Khar, local barbers decided that they would stop shaving men. A local barber told BBC Urdu that according to their decision, they (the barbers) would display notices outside their shops that customers should not push them for shaves. The Bajaur political administration confirmed to BBC Urdu that unidentified men had circulated pamphlets in the agency two days ago, threatening the local barbers to stop shaving men or face the consequences. The handwritten pamphlet stated that shaving beards was un-Islamic and the barbers should not violate the Sunnah in any way.
