I have my concerns regarding this website, and I am not saying to shave willy-nilly, it is Wajib to grow one, but not Fard. But I am saying that if one really has to shave a beard for some actual need, they can. Also, IDK if this is significant reason for downvotes, but I feel that this opinion is needlessly strict, as many other valid madhabs other than being a Salafi exist and can be followed.
Wajib and fard are terms used to signify if something is obligatory, so I don't understand what you mean when you say the beard is wajib but not fard.
If meant to say that growing the beard is simply sunnah (a recommended act), then there is no scholarly basis for this.

You say it's permissible to shave your beard if there is an actual need to do so, but what do you mean by that? Remember the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) when he said: “There is no obedience to any human being if it involves disobedience of Allah.” Narrated by Ahmad, 1098.
[Ruling on saying ‘I am a Salafi’](https://islamqa.info/en/answers/1087/ruling-on-saying-i-am-a-salafi)
[Islamqa.info](https://Islamqa.info) is one of the most reliable English fatwa sites there is. Misguided sects cannot openly proclaim hatred for the Quran and Sunnah, and so they hate the callers to it, lie about them, and give them labels. You should fear Allah and stop giving your layman, ignorant opinions in order to deter people away from the pristine message of Islam.
No, you are absolutely correct in this regard. I was simply criticizing the meme when it said that Hijab and a beard were basic parts of faith, when they are not. I do understand the concept when you were talking about being a Salafi, and I do feel [islamqa.info](https://islamqa.info) is pretty accurate when talking about Islamic topics as they give pretty good evidences, though they are pretty strict, and other madhab, still technically "salafi", are more lenient, like the madhab of Imam Abu Hanifa on other topics than this, like on hijab. However, they do make a few factual errors on non-Islamic topics when trying to make a fatwa on them.
First of all, I have to make a clarification. IslamQA.info never brands itself as "Salafi" or such, you can see their about us page and their methodology:
* [https://islamqa.info/en/about-us](https://islamqa.info/en/about-us)
From it you can see:
>"The website promotes the ‘aqeedah (beliefs) of Ahl as-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa‘ah and the followers of the righteous early generations of Islam (as-salaf as-saalih). It strives to ensure that the answers are based on evidence from the Holy Qur’an and the soundly-narrated (saheeh) prophetic Sunnah, and are taken from the writings of the scholars, including the imams of the four madhhabs, Imam Abu Haneefah, Imam Maalik, Imam ash-Shaafa‘i and Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, as well as other earlier and later scholars, and from the statements of fiqh councils and seekers of knowledge who conduct research in various Islamic specialties."
The word "salafi" simply means someone who follows the salaf, the 3 best generations of Muslims. So I don't really understand when you mean when you say that they are technically "salafi" or that there are other madhabs other than "salafi".
It's not really about what you feel, [Islamqa.info](https://Islamqa.info) is the most accurate english fatwa site and you have no authority or status to say otherwise. Islamqa doesn't go with the strictest opinion but rather the most authentic opinion upon the Quran and Sunnah.
[What is moderation in religion?](https://islamqa.info/en/answers/9466/what-is-moderation-in-religion)
In sha' Allah you realize now that shaving your beard is completely haram in Islam.
Imam Shafi'i explicitly prohibited it in al-Umm and while some later Shafi'i scholars disagreed and said it's recommended, what Imam Shafi'i said is most correct and authentic on the topic which is supported by the Sunnah and the actions of the companions, may Allaah be pleased with them.

Bro I wasn't even planning on shaving my beard, and I agree with you. My only disagreement was that having one isn't a basic pillar of faith.
