Is it permissible to trim the beard on the grounds that its ends are not even?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible to trim the beard on the grounds that its ends are not even?

Answer:
It is not permissible to do this. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Let the beards grow," "Let the beards hang down," "Let the beards be long." These are all wordings found in the authentic collections. It is not permissible to do anything to the beard, except if it contains gray hair. In that case, it is permissible to change the gray hair, or it is recommended to change the gray hair with something other than black. Yes.
