The Ruling on Shaving the Beard and Trimming It

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the correct opinion regarding the ruling on shaving the beard, or trimming it, or taking some of it?

Answer:
The conditions of the correct statement, the true and right statement, the right and true statement, are the prohibition of shaving the beard, the prohibition of shaving the beard. As for the statement that it is permissible to trim it or cut it, that is not correct, and there is nothing more incorrect than it, and the statement is invalid, because it contradicts the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), both in his words and his actions. As for his words, he (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded to honor the beards, direct them, let them grow, and leave them long. As for his actions, he (peace and blessings be upon him) had a great beard, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) informed that leaving the beard long is among the characteristics of the fitrah (the innate natural disposition) upon which the prophets and messengers (peace and blessings be upon them) were, and trimming the mustache is among the characteristics of the fitrah, and from the religion of the messengers (peace and blessings be upon them). And Aaron (peace be upon him) said to Moses:
O son of my mother, do notيَا ابْنَ أُمَّ لَا تَأْخُذْ
[Taha 20:94]
in a manner that indicates, not disavowal, that the prophets (peace and blessings be upon them) had beards, their seal being... because he had a beard. So this is the correct view. As for saying what is the correct view, no, that is a mistake. The question was asking what is the true statement or what is the correct view in this matter? The correct view is what we have stated. Yes.
