Title: Changing Allah's Creation Question/Comments: Considering the analogy that you make "shaving one's beard completely should be compared to completely shaving the eyebrows" What do you think of people shaving their head completely; also isn't circumcising a child changing the nature of Allah's creation? Mohammed Amjid Khan Answer: Under normal circumstances, shaving one's head completely is equally disliked, in my opinion, as shaving the beard. Exceptions may, obviously, exist in both cases. As for circumcision or removing hair from the pubic area or from the armpits, it is a requirement of keeping ourselves physically clean, which is an equally strong requirement of man's inherent nature. I hope this helps. Regards, Moiz Amjad November 25, 2001
