Afghanistan
Growing beard is only a recommendation, not mandatory: Taliban
2022-01-01
Forward to the past! But not so quickly that the frogs jump out of the pot.
[Khaama] Applies to both men, wymyns, and the other 57 varieties who will soon be put to death. Monobrows are encouraged
Ministry of promotion of virtue and prevention of vice of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan said that growing beard is just a recommendation to people and that it is not mandatory.

The ministry in a Twitter post directed all the Taliban affiliates not to force people to grow beards and that this is a personal choice.

It comes after the ministry’s provincial offices’ directions over preventing trimming and shaving beards in some provinces aroused national and international reactions.

On the other hand, the ministry in its recent directions directed drivers not to seat two women in the front seat and totally avoid seating women who have not observed Islamic hijab.

The directions have also said that a woman cannot travel alone for more than 45 miles.

The Ministry of promotion of virtue and prevention of vice that was replaced by the ministry of women affairs is one of the strictest administrations of the Taliban that deals with the attitude and physical appearance of people.

#7  Are the Talibs taking a play from the media mavens at the CDC? And do they consider pineapple on a pizza to be un-Islamic?

#6  I'll admit beards have disadvantages I'd forgotten about until I moved back to cold weather country... e.g., "frozen snot beard".
