The ruling on growing the hair on the head long while shaving the beard

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some young men let the hair on their heads grow and take care of it, but they shorten or shave their beards, and they say that growing the hair on the head is the Sunnah. Is what he says about this correct?

The Shaykh:
It is strange, meaning growing the hair on the head is the Sunnah and shaving the beard is the Sunnah? This is a reversal, may Allah protect us from that. Growing the beard and leaving it is obligatory, it is not a Sunnah, it is obligatory. As for growing the hair on the head, this is the Sunnah if he grows it in the manner mentioned in the hadiths; this is the recommended Sunnah. But growing the beard and leaving the beard is obligatory. Yes.

The questioner:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh:
It is permissible for him to shave his head, but it is not permissible for him to shave his beard, as you know, is that right? Yes.
