Is my statement, "Commitment is not just about the beard and these things," considered a mockery of the ritual of growing a beard?

We previously advised you to avoid excessive indulgence in the whispers () related to mockery. What you have stated here is not mockery, for adherence to religion is not limited to the beard, and your statement "it's not just the beard" is correct; because religion includes letting the beard grow and many heartfelt and physical actions, and is not limited to the beard and similar external appearances.
