What is the ruling on shaving and trimming the moustache?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: What is the ruling on shaving and trimming the moustache?

Answer:
It is not permissible to trim the moustache, which is what grows on the upper lip. This is not permissible because it is part of the beard, so it is not permissible to trim it. You will find those who trim it to be disfigured, and you will find those who leave it to be accepted, because they followed the Sunnah and acted according to the Sunnah. So it is not permissible to trim the moustache; it is part of the beard. Yes.
