Re: Shaving The Beard:
[QUOTE]
its not farz in Islam. fullstop.

Who said its farz? I have mentioned few times its wajib, and to leave a wajib is a sin. To grow a beard, it was an order of Prophet s.a.w, and He never shaved, nor did any Sahabas, so its higher than Sunnah. If it was ok to shave, atleast PROPHET s.a.w would have shaved it once or said it once that its ok to shave.
But if you want to follow your own desires in the name of Quran and Sunnah, go ahead.

If anyone makes fun of beard now, then he is a kafir.
