Question:
This questioner says: We love you for the sake of Allah, Honorable Shaykh. What do we say about those who mock the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), such as shaving the beard and shortening the garment, and about those who practice it? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The one who mocks the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) or disparages it, this is one of the types of apostasy, and I seek refuge in Allah. This is one of the nullifiers of Islam.[Muhammad 47:9] So the one who hates the Sunnah of the Messenger or mocks it, this is one of the nullifiers of Islam. We ask Allah for safety. Yes.
