The Ruling on Shaving and Trimming the Mustache

Question:
My brother, the Shaykh, what is the Sunnah regarding taking the mustache? Is it to shave it completely or to remove most of it? Please inform us.

Answer:
It is all permissible, it is all permissible. Trimming the mustache or shaving it, it is all permissible. However, trimming it is better and more beautiful, because shaving the mustache disfigures the face. As for if he trims it and shaves the hair on the upper lip, this is better because it is more beautiful for the person.
Some scholars distinguish between the elder, the Shaykh, and the young man. It is not recommended for the young man to shave his mustache, and it is not recommended for the elder to shave his mustache, you do not see it as large, but the better and more beautiful option is that he does not shave it completely, leaving no hair at all. He should suffice with trimming or cutting it, because this is more beautiful for the person. Otherwise, it is permissible for both ages; if he shaves it, it is permissible, and if he trims it, it is permissible, except that trimming is better and more beautiful for the person.
