Question
I have heard from a person that who ever uses the razor to shave his beard he his using the razor on the chest of our prophet. I was told that this is a hadith. Please verify the authenticity of this hadith. Also i wanted to know that if we donot follow the Sunnahs then will we be punishable for this. I heard that if you dont offer the sunnah prayer(sunnah moaqqida) then it is not a sin because only 5 times of fard prayers were given to our prophet on miraaj. Please give a detailed answer on this. also what is the ruling if we dont follow the wajib(eg. witr namaz) and nafl. Many Thanks
Answer
1. We are unable to locate any reference for such a quotation.
2. Perpetual omission of Sunnat-e-Muakkadah constitutes a sin. (Shaami vol.1 pg.104; HM Saeed)
3. It is necessary to perform Witr Salaat according to the Hanafi Madhab. To discard the Witr Salaat is a sin. If the Witr Salaat is not performed, Qadhaa is necessary.
