Beards Keep You Young, Healthy & Handsome, Says Science
Researchers discovered that men with beards and moustaches actually enjoy numerous benefits including, but not limited to, instant handsomeness.
A study from the University of Southern Queensland, published in the Radiation Protection Dosimetry journal, found that beards block 90 to 95 percent of UV rays, thereby slowing the aging process and reducing the risk of skin cancer. Got asthma? Pollens and dust simply get stuck in that lustrous facial hair. Additionally, all that hair retains moisture and protects against the wind, keeping you looking young and fresh-faced. What’s more, shaving is usually the cause of ingrown hairs and bacterial infections that lead to acne.
Have you tossed your razor in the trash yet?
To conduct the study, researchers left bearded mannequins, along with less attractive, follically-challenged ones, in the blistering sun of the Australian outback and then compared the amount of radiation absorbed by each.
But don’t forget to take care of those blessed follicles; beards can also spread infection if not properly cared for and make consumption of certain foods (e.g. cheeseburgers, corn on the cob, falafel sandwiches—anything with hummus actually, bagel ‘n’ schmear, syrupy pancakes) rather laborious. Fuzzy-faced men would be wise to take advantage of beard wash and beard oil, essential tools for looking and feeling your beardy best.

Re: Beard in Islam
Darul Uloom Deoband fatwa declares shaving un-Islamic
LUCKNOW: A Darul Uloom Deoband fatwa stating it is un-Islamic to shave one's beard has put barbers from the community and clean shaven Muslims in a quandary. The barber in Saharanpur who sought the fatwa has decided neither to shave nor trim any beards.
The fatwa issued by India's leading Islamic seminary in Saharanpur was sought by Mohammmad Irshad and Mohammad Furqan, who run a hair salon in Bajia-ul-Haq locality of the district. For now, the duo has stopped shaving or trimming of beards.
Issued by a panel of three muftis — Faqrul Islam, Waqar Ali and Zain-ul-Qasmi — the fatwa states that shaving a beard was un-Islamic as it is not permitted in the sharia (Islamic law). The Islamic constitution doesn't allow us to cut the beard of a person of any religion. If someone is in this business he should try to change to some other job, the fatwa reads.
"The fatwa was issued in the light of the sharia and is based on the premise that keeping a clean shave is un-Islamic, and those who assist someone to do any thing that is not permitted in Islam, shares the responsibility for the violation," explains Maulana Ashraf Usmani, the spokesman for Darul Uloom Deoband.
Clerics in Lucknow say not supporting a beard is un-Islamic but not forbidden in Islam. "Supporting a beard is sunnat (something the Prophet Muhammad did)," says Maulana Khalid Rashid Firangi Mahali, who heads a unit that issues fatwas in Lucknow. "Shaving a beard is mamnoon (not preferred) but not haraam (forbidden) in Islam," he says.
For the salon owner duo which sough the fatwa, the problem at hand was convincing the clientele that shaving was un-Islamic, hence they were not offering the service any longer. As a result, they have put up a copy of the fatwa outside their shop. For now they are only offering services like dressing and cutting of hair. The salon owners say it was getting difficult for them to explain why they were not offering services like shaving or trimming beard, so they decided to put up copy of the fatwa .
The diktat has left hair salon owners in Lucknow in a dilemma. "We are not aware of the fatwa and once we get a copy of it, we will decide what needs to be done," says Shahid Siddiqui, onwer of a salon in Lucknow. "As far as we know, it is preferred for people to support a beard, but it is not mandatory," he says.
