Question
Commenting on the Mujlisul Ulama's book, The SUNNAH BEARD, which is in refutation of Maulana Taha Karaan's view of the permissibility of shaving off the beard according to the Shaafi' Math-hab, one brother commented as follows: * The Hanafi Ulama are not allowed to give fatwa on the Shaafi' Math-hab. They (i.e. the Shaafi' Ulama) are the Ulama of the Shaafi' Math-hab, so they know better what are the official and mufti biha views of the Shaafi' Math-habs. * There is no such thing as Makrooh Tanzihi and Makrooh Takreemi in the Shaafi' Math-hab. What is the response for this?
Answer
In a nut shell, whatever the brother said is bunkum. Morons acquit themselves moronically, hence the disgorgement of bunkum. If any Shaafi' Molvi/Shaikh has any issue of contention with any fact stated
by the Mujlisul Ulama in their book, let him acquit himself academically and refute what has been said with solid Shar'i dalaa-il. It is puerile to attempt a stupid 'refutation' with stupid comments. The stupid statements made by the brother portrays his academic bankruptcy which has rendered him impotent in the sphere of rational refutation.
The bother or any other Shaafi' Molvi/Shaikh or molvi -cum-shaikh should cite valid Shar'i arguments to refute what the Mujlisul Ulama has stated in its refutation of Molvi Taha Karaan's corrupt, haraam view of the permissibility of shaving the beard clean off to give the face the resemblance of a skinned pig.
For the edification of the conglomerate of half-baked Shaafi' molvis-cum-sheikhs in this country we say that here in this country and in this age, we the Ulama of the Hanafi Math-hab are vastly more qualified to speak and issue Fatwa on issues of the Shaafi' Math-hab.
The present crop of molvis/ sheikhs who pretend to be Shaafis, are impostors. Their Shaafi'ism is restricted basically to rafa' yadain, qiraat khalfal imaam and a couple of other ostentatious practices. They are freelances like India's holy cows roaming the streets devouring fodder from wherever they are able to scrounge, and taking whacks from this one and that one.
These freelancing so-called 'Shaafi' ulama are ignorant of the Math-hab they profess to be following. Consider the issue of Talaaq. The morons are issuing the stupid fatwa that trinity is unity, i.e. three talaaqs equal one Talaaq in diametric contradiction of the Shaafi' Math-hab. The morons performed a mock 'janaazah' salaat for a professed atheist simply because they wanted to appease the political rulers of the country. Yes, they are adept in the trick of transforming haraam into 'halaal'. Thus, according to these deviates it is permissible to shave the beard.
It is permissible for women to cut their hair and become like prostitutes.
Let them remove the plugs from their ears and listen clearly that the Hanafi Ulama here are more equipped to issue fatwa in terms of the Shaafi' Math-hab than the deviates who perpetrate deception with the monstrous lie of them being Shaafi' Ulama. The day we see genuine Shaafi' Ulama, it will then devolve on us to refer all Shaafi' searchers of the Haqq to such Ulama. But right now, there is a colossal dearth of genuine Shaafi' Ulama in this country. Therefore, it is not lawful for the Hanafi Ulama to refer followers of the Shaafi Math-hab to morons who are the marauders and debauchers in the pastures of Imaan and Akhlaaq. It is haraam to direct unwary and ignorant laymen into the wolf's den.
It has devolved on the Hanafi Ulama-e-Haqq as an obligation to research the Shaafi' kutub thoroughly to
enable them to guide the followers of Imaam Shaafi' (rahmatullah alayh) in the raging ocean of jahaalah. Pirates are destroying the Imaan and Akhlaaq of the Ummah, hence the Hanafi Ulama have to come to the rescue.
The contention about Makrooh is a glaring testimony for the gross ignorance of the miscreants. This issue has been adequately dealt with in the Mujlisul Ulama's kitaab on the beard. The stupid claim displays their degree of ignorance. Let them return to Madrasah and start the learning process all over.
