This is a letter from `Abdul`Aziz ibn `Abdullah ibn Baz to our honorable brother `A.F.M. May Allah grant you success!
I would like to inform you that I have received your letter in which you have stated the harm, enmity, and mockery which have befallen you because of your adherence to the Islamic etiquettes such as: letting the beard grow, shortening the garment, letting women wear Niqab (face veil), and so on.
I advise you to adhere to the Islamic etiquettes such as growing and keeping the beard, shortening the garment, and letting women wear Hijab (veil) and enduring any hardships associated with that, because this is an act of obedience to Allah (Exalted be He) and His Messenger (peace be upon him). You should not be affected by the criticism and mockery of others. You should take the messengers (peace be upon them) as your examples for they endured hardships and conveyed the message of their Lord.
As for what you mentioned, I did not send a telegraph to President Hosni Mubarak to congratulate him. May Allah guide him, help him to do all that is good, rule according to the Islamic Shari`ah (Law), urge the Egyptians to holdfast to the Islamic teachings, and devote all the acts of worship to Allah Alone.
