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.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
