Question
Is there any differentiation between Ulama and non-Ulama? For example, if I shave my beard then I am a faasiq according to Islam. But, if the mufti imaam of my mosque shaves his beard, he will not be called a faasiq? Kindly advise?
Answer
If a Mufti or an Imaam of a Musjid shaves his beard then he is a worse faasiq. His fisq is worse that the fisq of an ordinary man who is not an Aalim.
