Is the one who trims his beard punished in the grave?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is the one who takes something from his beard punished in the grave, or not?

Answer:
There is no report that he is specifically punished in the grave. However, the one who takes something from his beard commits a sin, because this is a disobedience that contradicts the command of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to let the beard grow, honor it, and wash it. So it is a disobedience, and he sins by doing it. As for specifying that he is punished for it in the grave, that requires evidence.
