Question:
What is the ruling on shaving the beard or shortening it?

Answer:
Neither is permissible: neither shaving the beard nor shortening it. This is because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded that it be grown, that it be let down, that it be left as it is, that it be honored, and that it be kept. All these hadiths indicate that a Muslim is not to do anything to his beard, whether cutting, plucking, or shaving. Yes.
