My parents are Muslims, but they stop me from growing a beard, especially mother. Should I grow beard or obey them?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

Furthermore, is it included in the rights (huqooq) of parents to stop their children from following the sunnah. Please answer with reference to Qur’an and Sunnah, so that i can be convinced myself and then be able to convince my parents.

Answer

‘For Muslim males to grow a beard is Waajib (compulsory), and to let it grow
a fist length is Waajib. Without any Sharée reason to cut or shave is Haraam
(totally prohibited). He who does so is a Faasiq (sinner) and to shorten it
less than a fist length is Makruh Tahrimi (near Haraam).’ Dari Aur Ambiyaa
Ki Sunnate, Mufti Saeed Palanpuri.
