Let's continue this discussion in a manner that is sensible.

naqshbandiosmanli: clearly you are very emotional and you are making very unfair insinuations because of this. Please take some time out and come back to the discussion with a clear mind. About your point on Mawlana Gangohi (ra): I understand what you are saying about Adab. But, I think the point that is repeatedly being missed here, is the issue of ikhtilaf does not come into the beard discussion. Beard was kept by the Prophet and all the Sahabah (ra) and all the Prophets that Allah ta'ala ever sent.

People belittle the Zaahiri sunan, saying it is merely superficial, or it is not as bad as terrible Akhlaq. I think Ustadh abdulwahhab has given very clear responses and the points have been made thoroughly. A further point is the amount of time and effort that goes into trimming the beard - meaning a conscious decision has to be made regularly to stand before a mirror and go against the Sunnah. So do you not see how this is different to "leaving" a Sunnah - one thing is "leaving" and another is "opposing".

I do not want this discussion to be about Shaykh Babikr and trying to pinpoint his faults. Imagine if we were put in the same position. However, this is supposed to be a matter of principal and I am tempted to split this thread because of the benefit of the Shaykh's message is being lost. Anyone who wants, may confirm the beard question, his views on music and his views on segregation by contacting the respected Shaykh Babikir.
