Whoever sees that his beard is white : nothing remains of its blackness, for he sees with his face and his face in people what he hates . If some of its blackness remains, then it is dignified . And the length of the beard is above its known worth, a debt owed by its owner, or severe concerns . And its shortcomings and its fear make up for his religion and go to it if it is as much as it does not disgrace it . If his beard is shaved, his face will go away and face him in people, as is the plucking, except that shaving is easier .
