Is the hair on the cheek considered part of the beard?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on removing the hair that grows on the cheek, and is it part of the beard?

Answer:
You do not remove it unless it is harmful, if it harms you and causes you pain, and it is not from the sideburns. The sideburns are part of the beard, and it is permissible to remove them. But if it is not from the sideburns and you are pained by it, then shave it. The beard is what grows on the chin and on the sideburns; this is the beard.
