Dear ulema As a child i had skin graft on exacly one half of my face which has had the effect of my beard growing on one side only. Will i still be sinful if i do not keep a beard.

Answer

It is unfortunate to hear about your medical problem. As regards to you
keeping a beard if this is not possible and you are not removing the hair
from your one side of your face to imitate the non-Muslims or for any other
reason accept medical then, Insha Allah, you will be excused.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
