Re: beard or no beard?
which means the guy isnt doing the fard and keeping the sunnah (i.e. beard)
and in this way he is giving a BAD NAME to the rest of the guys with beards.
also you see some people who do haram things (e.g. kill innocent people) and they happen to have a beard....it gives a bad name to all people with beards and makes life harder for them
for this reason I believe its important to follow the rest of Islam properly....
I agree fardh is more important...but people shouldn't disregard Sunnah either.
And, its really not about how you are on the outsie that counts..its how ur heart is that matters... so we can't generalize all bearded guys like that, or shaved guys for being bad.
