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

Brother, the statement that this is a 24 hour sin is not wrong at all. In fact this is exactly what makes it a bigger sin than most other sins.....Just like it is a continuous sin if a woman goes without Hijab in front of Na Mehram........it is a continuous sin because unless a Muslim repents from it, he is involved in it all the time.

Another thing that makes it so important is that there are certain things which are indications of a pious muslim. Im not saying that a person with beard is definitely pious, but it is certainly something that all the Aulia and Sulaha practice. The same goes for keeping your Ankles exposed.

That is probably why all the Ulama and Mashaikh emphasize on its importance.
