After threats, barbers in Bajaur Agency stop shaving beards

Following threats to barbers by some unidentified men against shaving beards, barbers in the Bajaur Agency have decided not to carry on activity, and are learnt to have displayed notices in front of their shops requesting their customers not to push for shaves.

In an emergency meeting summoned at Inayat Kallay, five km from Bajaur Agency's main town Khar, barbers decided that they would stop shaving beards, reported the Daily Times.

According to the paper, the Bajaur political administration confirmed 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.
