The Ruling on Interfering with the Beard at Weddings

Question:
The questioner says: Many people, especially in these days of celebrations and weddings, are lax regarding the beard in particular. What is the ruling of Islam in this matter? We ask for clarification and advice in this regard. May Allah reward you.

Answer:
The Muslim adheres to the prescribed etiquettes; the Muslim adheres to the prescribed etiquettes at weddings and elsewhere, and to growing the beard.
Honoring it and letting it grow is the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), which he commanded, and interfering with it is forbidden. Interfering with it by cutting, plucking, or shaving is forbidden because it is disobedience to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and because it disfigures the appearance of the Muslim, for the beard is beauty for a man.
Taking from it, trimming it, or shaving it is not considered part of the fitrah; rather, it is considered disfigurement and disobedience to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), whether at weddings or elsewhere. Yes.
