Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 988/658/L=1434) A Muslim may open salon shop. However, it is haram as per the Shariah to shave one’s own or other’s beard. Hence it shall be haram for barber to shave the beard as well as the income derived from it shall not be halal. It is also not free from being makrooh to do fashionable or non Shariah haircut.
