Barbing salons in Afghanistan’s Helmand province have been banned from shaving or trimming beards.<\/p>\n

The Taliban govt gave the order, stating it breaches their interpretation of Islamic law and that anyone caught violating the rule will be punished.<\/p>\n

Barbers in the capital Kabul have also said they have been warned against trimming beards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a notice posted on salons in southern Helmand province, Taliban officers warned that hairdressers must follow Sharia law for haircuts and beards.<\/p>\n

“No one has a right to complain,” the notice, which was seen by the BBC, read.<\/p>\n

“The fighters keep coming and ordering us to stop trimming beards,” one barber in Kabul said. “One of them told me they can send undercover inspectors to catch us.”<\/p>\n

Another hairdresser, who runs one of the city’s biggest salons, said he received a call from someone claiming to be a government official. They instructed him to “stop following American styles” and not to shave or trim anyone’s beard.<\/p>\n

During the Taliban<\/a>‘s first stint in power from 1996 to 2001, the group banned flamboyant hairstyles and insisted that men grow beards.<\/p>\n

The new instructions suggest a return to the strict reign of the group’s past tenure in power, despite promises to the West to be more considerate and milder in it’s government this time around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
