Can I Follow Shafi Madhab’s Ruling on Cutting Beard Despite Society’s Resistance?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I came to know that In Shafi Madhab cutting beard is Makrooh (disliked) as said by their two great Shaikhs, Shaikh Al Nawai and I forgot the name of the other Shaikh. Can I follow Shafi madhab in the ruling of cutting the beard as I follow the Hanafi madhab but because I am feeling great resistance from society.

Bismillaah

A: All the imaams are unanimous that it is not permissible to cut the beard before one fist.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
