Shaving the beard and persisting in it

Question:
This questioner is asking about the ruling on shaving the beard and continuing to do so. Is this considered persisting in this act?

Answer:
Yes, if he repeatedly shaves his beard, this is persistence. Persistence in a minor sin turns it into a major sin, and it is also public defiance of sin. Public defiance is also severe. Therefore, the beard must be left as it is, honored, let down, and trimmed, and it must not be touched, because it is a mark of manhood and the distinguishing feature between a man and a woman. It adds beauty to the person. You see the difference between the one who shaves and the one who keeps his beard; which is more beautiful, I ask you?
Without a doubt, the bearded man is more handsome, because his creation is complete and his appearance is good, unlike the one who shaves, for his face becomes like a woman's face; you cannot distinguish between him and a woman. If you saw a shaved face and a woman's face, would you be able to distinguish between them? How can a person be satisfied with this? He shifts from the attribute of manliness to the attribute of womanliness, imitating women.
