If a scholar is clean shaven, eat with his left, miss ´Id and Witr prayers on a regular basis (due to laxness) etc, then I may not recommend someone to take guidance from him in this matter; but that is because he is insisting upon leaving numerous sunan habitually. So while he may not be sinful, he is known to generally be lax in the Sunnah.

wa'Allahu a´lam.
wassalam

Your reservations in recommending such a scholar is founded on your love for the Sunnah. However, the emphasis on the Sunnah of the beard, far exceeds that on eating with right hand, using Miswaak, saying Salaams, and many other Sunnahs put together. The widespread neglect of the Sunnahs, accompanied by slogans of "it's only Sunnah", is clearly a cause of the deprivation of the Ummah from Allah's mercy.

I feel strongly that all deeni efforts will be bereft of barakah wherever the neglect of the Sunnah of the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant peace) continues to be implemented and propagated by practice. Your comment that the many of the ulama in the Arab lands do not adopt the Sunnah beard is very distressing and hurtful.

During the battle of Qadisiyyah, the believers were perplexed as to why Allah's assistance had been withheld when they were unable to conquer a major fort. Hadhrat Umar (Radhiallahu anhu) instructed the commander of the army to inspect the Muslim troops in order to search for any deficiency in the Sunnah in them. When it was discovered that the sunnah of Miswaak had been neglected, instructions were immediately issued to remedy the situation. Almost immediately the believers were granted a great victory.

If the state of our 'spiritual masters' is such, let alone that of the laity, what respite can the Ummah expect from its current humiliation?
