Title: In the recent past, many egyptian quraa have been coming to our shores, and one noticable feature of all of these quraa is that they have clean shaven faces, or trimmed beards well below the stipulated 1 fist. Is it then correct for us to listen to these quraa? And more especially reknown ulema and quraa also attending? And keep in mind the fact that even the tones in which the recite closely resemble muscial tones. Please advise.
