What is the ruling on committing a sin based on the specious argument that Allah is self-sufficient, having no need of His servants, and is not affected by their disobedience?

This world is a place of trial and tribulation, not a place of eternal bliss and reward. Among its greatest trials is the trial of women, against which the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, warned. Islamic law has set boundaries for a man's relationship with a non-mahram woman to ensure chastity, such as prohibiting seclusion (khalwa), forbidding unnecessary speech, and enjoining the lowering of the gaze.

A person's awareness that the harm of sin reverts to them should prompt them to avoid it. For Allah, the obedience of the obedient does not benefit Him, nor does the disobedience of the disobedient harm Him. Allah has guided us to the right path for our own happiness and to avert destruction from ourselves, by saying: "O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire..." (At-Tahrim: 6). And the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, called his family and clan to save themselves from the Fire.

Therefore, one should hasten to repent, observe prayers in mosques, attend gatherings of knowledge and remembrance, accompany the righteous, seek Allah's help, and engage frequently in remembrance (dhikr) and supplication (du'a). Furthermore, growing the beard is obligatory, and shaving it is forbidden.
