There are many things of everyday sunnah which we do not follow , for example dates and olives were big part of Holy Prophet(SAW)'s diet but we do not consume them so does it means we are leaving an important Sunnah behind and we will be answerable for it to Allah ?
He used to pray tahajjud we do not do so are we committing sin by not doing so ?
He used to ride camel or horse for his travel , should we go back to those mode of transportation? Why not ? Will it not be great show of love and respect if we follow that sunnah in this day and age ? Will we not be rewarded for any kind of hardships we face doing so ?
Allah had given us permission to marry up to 4 women , our holy Prophet (SAW) had more than 4 wives by special permission from Allah, now are we not leaving his Sunnah behind us by being monogamous, where is our love for our holy Prophet (SAW) ?
He used to wear completely different kind of clothings than we do in this day and age , are we not disrespecting him by not following his Sunnah of choice of dress ?
If the answer to all these questions is no then how just keeping the beard can make up for leaving so many sunnahs behind. We are dis obeying Allah’s command who says obey Allah and obey Rasool , why are we picking and choosing according to our convenience ?
He never worked as an employee of any company or person , we all spend better part of our lives working for someone , are we not leaving this important Sunnah behind ?
Who decides which Sunnah is important to follow and which can be conveniently ignored ?
The proponents of beard as wajib sunnah do not follow many or all of the above mentioned important Sunnahs why are those Sunnah’s not Wajib.
Well first of all the beard is one Sunnah and there are many other Sunnah’s of same value and importance , One should give importance to all of them equally.
**More to those where we have a Takeed and it was practised by the Beloved Prophet (saw) whole his life for iqamat e deen and to leave such sunnah is condemned and disliked. **
So now we know which ones to prefer , you are much wiser then many of us ..
so I don’t have to tell you that I prefer following Nikkah ( which is sunnah of my beloved Mola hazRat Muhammad PBUH ) then riding a camel ..
Who decides which Sunnah is important to follow and which can be conveniently ignored ?
The proponents of beard as wajib sunnah do not follow many or all of the above mentioned important Sunnahs why are those Sunnah's not Wajib.
I can ask you the same question in opposite, we all use right hand to eat (sunnah) use left to clean our private parts (sunnah), raise our finger when reciting shahadah in namaz (sunnah) ...
why dont we stop doing that also just because we dont have beard or ride a camel or wear the clothings that he wore.
Re: Picking and choosing Sunnah ? Split from:Wives warning / threatening their husban
beard sunnat-e-muak'kida hay ..App salal alla ho alyhi wasalam nay is ko rakhnay ka hukam diya hay is kay barray main hadees mojood hay or is per app ka ammal musalal raha is kay baad sahaba ka or tabaeen wa taba tabaeen ka or jo sunnat musalsal saabit ho woh ummat-e-muhammade per **wajib **hay
is k ilawa app nay jitnee sunnatain ziker keen .. woh mua'kid nahi hain ... woh mustahab kay derjay main hain kernay per sawab or na kernay per gunaah nahi hay
or yeh sawal kerna k yeh kon decide keray ga ...bohat ajeeb bat hay.. sahaba-e-karam jo app salal Allaho alyhi wasalam k terbiyat yaafta thay un say maloom hoa k unhoon nay kin sunnatooN per dawaam ikthyaar kia or kin per nahi is k baad taaba'een .taba taaba'een mujtahdeen Aaima karaam or ulmaa kay zareye maloom hoa ..
Question for u
how u know k namazoon main kon see sunnat-e-muak'kida or ghair-e- muak'kida hay
kis nay decide kia hay ? app us ko kion maantay hain .. ? wahaan bhi per yeh logic lay aaain !

members above have given very good explanations.
just want to add a few things...
Imagine a society where keeping beard was a common practice, and nobody used to shave completely. Then imagine someone telling people to keep beard (which they already are doing). What do we get from this?? Think….
Those were the times when all of the men in Arab and most of them in Ajam used to keep beard, it was a common practice even among mushrikeen, kuffar, majooseen etc, they all kept it, very few of them used to trim it shorter, and even very very rare was the case when a man used to shave (and such people were not considered esteemed even among non-muslims). This was the society where Muhammad (sallallah-o-alaeh-e-wassallam) ordered many times to keep beard.
agar aap socho, wo takeed, musalsal amal, aur uskay tark karnay par narazgi ka izhar sab kiskay liye tha??? Kya hum par ye sari batain fit nahi aateen jo aaj hum ye question kartay hain, aur un cheezoon k baray main shak main mubtila hain jo bohot wazeh aur clear hain?
Imagine one more thing, jesay koi insan jab kisi gunah ki halat main ho, maslan koi shakhs jis waqt choori kar rha ho, exactly us hee waqt wo Quaran ki tilawat bhee karta jata ho, ya zikar karta ho, to kya usay gunah kartay huway zikar karnay par jaza ki umeed rakhni chahye???? bilkul is hee tarha, agar hum ye keh lain, k hum is sunnat-e-mo’keda/ wajib ko musalsal tark kartay huway gunah ki halat main hain, aur is musalsal gunah ki halat main kya humain apnay naik aamal ki jaza ki umeed rakhni chahye??? This is a scary thought!!!!!

Oh Mirch… I don’t know what all the ppl around me are so crazed about walking the same path on this high paced highway. I’m all for the ancient times… atleast we can grow our own hay for the horses and not pay so much for the gas when it comes to cars by riding cows, camels or mares.
4 wives are better than none, cuz all the multi tasking can be shared and expenses such as childcare, cleaning, work, earning money… there’s all 4X more of everything. I’m not going to contribute more cuz these two I felt most passionatley about… *wanting to smile but ain’t
Then again I’m just feeling really tired cuz I run a marathon a day doing so much … I think I’m burning out…therefore my ‘bleh’ input. But yeah…
much wiser then many of us ..
