Question
A sheikh says that Sunnah is not obligatory. Omission of it is not sinful. Please comment.
Answer
The word, 'sheikh' has different meanings. One meaning is 'an old man'. This sheikh who spoke the drivel of Sunnah not being obligatory is an old man whose brains have gone haywire. His senility constrained him to blurt out such ghutha (rubbish). The entire Deen is obligatory.
