Mufti Abdool Kader Hoosen has said that the beard is wajib according to all four Imams. He goes on to say that Shaykh Zakariyya has written the same in his book ihfa al-lihya of which Shaykh Bin Baz has written footnotes. Further, Mufti Saheb met a senior Shafi'i scholar of Madinah and he asked him the position of the Shafi'i madhab and he said that it is wajib. Anyone who claims otherwise has made a buhtan against the 'aimmah.
