can you please point it out, apart from saying "its not true" or what so ever.
I didn't say its not true, i said i hope its not, because its a ridiculous story.
If you meant you want me to emphasize why i hope its not true, here's why:
1) He's 'making fun' of people not keeping beards, which in itself whether beards are obligatory, sunnah or just a custom, is wrong. I would expect the senior shaykh of el Masjid al Haram to know that.
2) He says (according to your story) that the person who shaves his beard is committing a major sin. So, its not only an obligation or requirement, that if you didn't mean you'd be a sinner, but he's adding that its actually one of the most important things in Islam, since if you don't comply to it, you'd be doing a major sin. (All of which is unsupported to put it lightly)
3) He said a person who shaves their beard is a fasiq, which again like the last point, indicates that he's not just saying that this is a part of the religion, or not sunnah but obligatory, no, he's saying its extremely important. Its so important that if you don't do it, you'd be a terrible person.
This shows that shaykh in a terrible light for me, which is something i'm not happy about, since he's the senior shaykh (according to you) in al Masjid al Haram. Which is why i hope the story is not true.
