What is the ruling on shaving the beard or shortening it out of fear of people?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If I am in a land where one who grows his beard is opposed, is shortening my beard considered out of fear of people?

Answer:
Yes, as long as they do not prevent you, do not fear their blame. You have no concern for their blame. Follow the Sunnah and leave it. Yes.
