Is the income from a “حمام” (i.e. a barber shop in which there is also bathing facilities) lawful (حلال)? Because they also cut and shave beards.
If the barber doesn’t provide unlawful services (like cutting beards more than the measure of a fist or shaving it off totally) then undoubtedly his income is lawful. But generally, a barber’s income is from both lawful and unlawful ways of hairstyling and shaving other’s beard, hence his income is mixed with lawful and unlawful earnings. So if there are more lawful earnings in his income then his income will be lawful, and if there are more unlawful earnings then his income will be unlawful. But it is incorrect to say that the income of a barber is unlawful.
And Allah knows best.
کمافی الدر المختار: ولذا يحرم على الرجل قطع لحيته (6/ 407)۔
وفی الفتاوى الهندية: آكل الربا وكاسب الحرام أهدى إليه أو أضافه وغالب ماله حرام لا يقبل، ولا يأكل ما لم يخبره أن ذلك المال أصله حلال ورثه أو استقرضه، وإن كان غالب ماله حلالا لا بأس بقبول هديته والأكل منها، كذا في الملتقط. (5/ 343)۔
