Shaving beard is a sin and so are other things. These actions would prevent piety. والله اعلم

In general terms, anyone with their correct beliefs and piety can become friend (wali) of God.

You are right. But we generally talk about the Shariat we follow so there's 14 in Prophet Mohammad's (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) shariah.

Did you know the hadith you are talking about when you told people about your sin? Ask forgiveness from Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) with utmost sincerity. He is most forgiving. Insha Allah, He will also help you get rid of your sin completely.

The official status of infallibility is for only 14. There are couple others who don't have this official infallible status but they are so high in terms of piety that Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) or Aimma (عليهم اسلام) have taken guarantee. One such person, as you mentioned, is Janabe Fatema binte Musa (sa). Probably some other brother can give a better explanation.

It's worrying that many people who like Iranian government and their leaders are never ready to accept that they can do wrong. They will blindly defend the regime and accuse anyone and everyone who criticize them or questions them. Honestly, they remind me of hardcore Modi follower who will defend him at any cost. Gentle reminder: We have 14 infallibles. Only they are free from any mistake/sin.

That was Hazrat Nuh's (عليه السلام) wife. Thank you for pointing out. Corrected in original post.

All Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) did was wish of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) and there could be wisdom beyond our comprehension. Even his words were nothing but revelation. Being wife of a Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) doesn't absolved them of sin. Hazrat Nuh's (عليه السلام) and Hazrat Lut's (عليه السلام) wives were disbeliever and they will be going to hell. On the other hand, Firaun's wife Janabe Asiya (sa) was a Mominah and she will be going to Paradise. You can see how being a relative of the Prophet doesn't save you. Surah At-Tahrim, Verse 10: ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا امْرَأَتَ نُوحٍ وَامْرَأَتَ لُوطٍ كَانَتَا تَحْتَ عَبْدَيْنِ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا صَالِحَيْنِ فَخَانَتَاهُمَا فَلَمْ يُغْنِيَا عَنْهُمَا مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا وَقِيلَ ادْخُلَا النَّارَ مَعَ الدَّاخِلِينَ Allah sets forth an example to those who disbelieve the wife of Nuh and the wife of Lut: they were both under two of Our righteous servants, but they acted treacherously towards them so they availed them naught against Allah, and it was said: Enter both the fire with those who enter. Surah At-Tahrim, Verse 11: وَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا امْرَأَتَ فِرْعَوْنَ إِذْ قَالَتْ رَبِّ ابْنِ لِي عِندَكَ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَنَجِّنِي مِن فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَمَلِهِ وَنَجِّنِي مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ And Allah sets forth an example to those who believe the wife of Firon when she said: My Lord! build for me a house with Thee in the garden and deliver me from Firon and his doing, and deliver me from the unjust people: (English - Shakir) Read life history of Aisha and her hatred towards Ahlulbayt (عليهم اسلام). There's no possibility of forgiveness neither she appropriate for رضي الله عنه

He sinned. How can one who sin stop others from sin. He is another fraud under garb of religion.

Salaam, Your question is not very clear. If you mean wali as someone divinely appointed by Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) then there are only 14.

No, not again. Taking lessons from this Pandemic, China and other nations should already start researching and prepare vaccine. Consider we got 2 month headstart.

Cutting out couple of gene helps in eliminating a potential disease. Does manipulating genes at such micro level introduce some other risks or deficiency?

What these pilots were thinking by getting fake licences. Literally putting 1000s of life in danger everyday. Also, good time to cancel those licences as most of the flights are sitting in hangar.

It seems because Pakistan is on FATF grey list and if they move to black list then they are not getting aids and loans to support already ailing economy. So, they don't have an option but to pause terrorism for a while until they come out of this. Statement about Laden is highlight of the speech. It is very much controversial and shows that Pakistan is not going away from state sponsored terrorism anytime soon.

They both deny each other. For our belief, the main point of focus should be teachings from Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى), Holy Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) and his 12 successors (عليهم اسلام). Wish you best in your journey
