brother grow a beard....simple conclusion. I was very disappointed with an arab alim who got into a legal discussion about the beard etc and tried to downplay it. Another example is when our dear egpytian brothers started a campaign to grow a beard and wanted 1 million men to grow beards a sufi alim who is famous mentions that it would have been better if they focused on other things. Such discussion is not very beneficial. At the end of the day we know the prophet sallahuwaslaam had a beard so just grow one.
