Is it permissible to trim the beard for the sake of beautification?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner asks: Is it permissible to take from the beard for the sake of beautification?

Answer:
He means, let him leave the beard, and you want to beautify it. Do you mean to shave it? Because for people, "beautification" means shaving. Or do you mean the beautification that is cosmetic? If you mean cosmetic beautification, there is beauty in it, praise be to Allah. But if the intention is to disfigure it, that is not beautification; it is disfigurement and a deficiency in it. Is a deficiency beautification or disfigurement?
A deficiency is disfigurement. Is the beard, my brother, a period as Allah created it? "Let the beards grow." "Let the beards grow." "Honor the beards." "Let the beards grow." These are authentic, repeated hadiths. But Satan incites people to disobedience; he incites them to fight the beard; he incites them to pluck the eyebrows. All of this is from Satan. The Muslim praises Allah and leaves what Allah has forbidden. He praises Allah for the beard because it is a blessing that beautifies his face, distinguishes him from women, and is a beauty for him. So it is a blessing. For them, the beard disfigures the face; their faces are disfigured. But for us, the beard makes our faces beautiful. Allah is Wise and Knowing in His creation and His craftsmanship, Glorified and Exalted is He.
