Question: Some of those who claim to be Muslim, when they see a person who is committed to the Sunnah of his Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in shortening his garment, growing his beard, and sitting in the mosques, find him saying: "This is a religion of superstition," or saying words that anger Allah. I ask for advice for these people. May Allah reward you.

Answer: It is obligatory for every Muslim man and every Muslim woman to obey the command of Allah and His Messenger, to leave what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, to advise one another to do so and to cooperate in it, and not to pay attention to the words of the mockers and those who ridicule, in accordance with the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) : [Al-Imran: 132] and His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He): [An-Nur 24:54] and His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He) in Surat al-Nisa: [Al-Nisa: 13-14] and the verses in this meaning are many. And the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih al-Bukhari 7280 It was said: "O Messenger of Allah, and who refuses?" He said: Sahih al-Bukhari 7280 Narrated by the Imam al-Bukhari in his Sahih.
And among the obedience to Allah and His Messenger is maintaining the prayers at their times for men and women, and performing them in the mosques with the Muslims, which is the right of the men. And among the obedience to Allah and His Messenger is paying the zakah, fasting Ramadan, and performing Hajj to the House with the ability to do so, being dutiful to parents, maintaining family ties, guarding the tongue and limbs from what Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has forbidden, advising one another, enjoining one another to the truth, cooperating in righteousness and piety, enjoining good and forbidding evil.
And among the obedience to Allah and His Messenger regarding the man is cutting the moustache, letting the beard grow and keeping it, and being cautious about letting the garments hang below the ankles; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is agreed upon that it is authentic. And he (may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him) said: Sunan an-Nasa'i 5331Sahih (Darussalam) Narrated by the Imam al-Bukhari in his Sahih.
And all garments are included in the lower garment, such as trousers, shirts, coats, and the like. And he (may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 2208Sahih (Darussalam) Narrated by the Imam Muslim in his Sahih. And success is from Allah.

Answer: It is obligatory for every Muslim man and every Muslim woman to obey the command of Allah and His Messenger, to leave what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, to advise one another to do so and to cooperate in it, and not to pay attention to the words of the mockers and those who ridicule, in accordance with the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) :
And obey Allah and the Messenger that you may obtain mercy.
وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَSay, "Obey Allah and obey the Messenger; but if you turn away - then upon him is only that [duty] with which he has been charged, and upon you is that with which you have been charged. And if you obey him, you will be [rightly] guided. And there is not upon the Messenger except the [responsibility for] clear notification."
قُلْ أَطِيعُوا اللَّهََ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ فَإِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْهِ مَا حُمِّلَ وَعَلَيْكُمْ مَا حُمِّلْتُمْ وَإِنْ تُطِيعُوهُ تَهْتَدُوا وَمَا عَلَى الرَّسُولِِ إِلا الْبَلاغُ المبين(13) These are the limits [set by] Allah, and whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger will be admitted by Him to gardens [in Paradise] under which rivers flow, abiding eternally therein; and that is the great attainment. (14) And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger and transgresses His limits - He will put him into the Fire to abide eternally therein, and he will have a humiliating punishment.
تِلْكَ حُدُودُ اللَّهِ وَمَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يُدْخِلْهُ جَنَّاتٍٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا وَذَلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ * وَمَنْ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَهُ يُدْخِلْهُُ نَارًا خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَلَهُ عَذَابٌ مُهِينٌAll my followers will enter Paradise except those who refuse.
كل أمتي يدخلون الجنة إلا من أبىWhoever obeys me will enter Paradise, and whoever disobeys me is the one who refuses (to enter it).
من أطاعني دخل الجنة ومن عصاني فقد أبىAnd among the obedience to Allah and His Messenger is maintaining the prayers at their times for men and women, and performing them in the mosques with the Muslims, which is the right of the men. And among the obedience to Allah and His Messenger is paying the zakah, fasting Ramadan, and performing Hajj to the House with the ability to do so, being dutiful to parents, maintaining family ties, guarding the tongue and limbs from what Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has forbidden, advising one another, enjoining one another to the truth, cooperating in righteousness and piety, enjoining good and forbidding evil.
And among the obedience to Allah and His Messenger regarding the man is cutting the moustache, letting the beard grow and keeping it, and being cautious about letting the garments hang below the ankles; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Cut short the moustaches and let the beards grow, and differ from the polytheists.
قصوا الشوارب وأعفوا اللحى خالفوا المشركينWhatever of the Izar comes below the ankles is in the Fire.
ما أسفل من الكعبين من الإزار فهو في النارAnd all garments are included in the lower garment, such as trousers, shirts, coats, and the like. And he (may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him) said:
There are three to whom Allah will not speak on the Day of Resurrection nor will He look at them or purify them, and theirs will be a painful torment." I said: "Who are they, O Messenger of Allah? For they are indeed losers." He said: "The one who lets his garment hang beneath his ankles, the one who reminds another of what he has given him, and the one who sells his product by means of false oaths.
ثلاثة لا يكلمهم الله يوم القيامة ولا ينظر إليهم ولا يزكيهم ولهم عذاب أليم: المسبل إزاره، والمنان فيما أعطى، والمنفق سلعته بالحلف الكاذب
