^^ When you don't stress something categorically then people tend to get lazy. Any commandment of Islam should be strictly remembered when so much people are neglectful of it. Had 'ulama not maintain riba is haram even in non-muslim coutries and taken the permissive approach (which the ikhwani still take by the way) there would be no or little islamic finance nowadays.

I never said that it should not be stressed categorically....neither did i say that shaving the beard is not haram...that is something that has been decided long ago by the ulema...my point was that saying something like 24 hr sin and 'greater than zina' is something not there and we shud refrain from saying this...the laymen when they to hear such statements tend to take the wrong meaning and might get a wrong understanding of sharia...And Allah Knows best
