What to Do if Your Mother Threatens Suicide Over Your Beard?
Shaykh Ubayd al-Jabiri explains that a mother threatening suicide if her son does not shave his beard is making a false threat. The son should not obey her demand, as this is not a valid reason to abandon the Sunnah.
Questioner:
The questioner says that his mother will commit suicide if he does not shave his beard. What should he do?
Shaykh Ubayd al-Jabiri:
She will not commit suicide. This is just a threat, so do not obey her.
