Does the hair on the cheeks fall within the scope of the beard?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is the hair that grows on the cheeks included in the boundaries of the beard, or is it permissible to remove it?

Answer:
The beard is what grows on the cheeks and the chin. This is the beard on the two cheekbones on the sides of the face, on both sides of the face, and what grows on them and on the chin. The chin and the two cheeks together constitute the beard. Yes.
