“Men should grow beards. One of the two body parts that separate men from women is the beard," Bayaral said.
"For example, if you see a man with long hair from afar you may think he is a woman if he does not have a beard. Because nowadays women and men dress similarly. God forbid! You could be possessed by indecent thoughts,” he added.
