What are the means that help one who is obsessed with shortening his beard?

Question:
A message was sent from Wadi al-Dawasir by a listener. The sender is Maim Maim al-Dawsari. Our brother says: Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. Allah has granted me guidance and the performance of obligations, and I do not praise myself, but I am obsessed with shortening the beard. I ask you to pray for my guidance. Then, what is the method that will make me avoid shortening it? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions. As for what follows, there is no doubt that it is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in hadiths the command to grow the beard, to honor it, to let it hang down, to let it be long, and to leave it alone without shaving or cutting it. And that this is imitating the disbelievers. It is imitating women and depriving the face of the beauty that Allah gave it to distinguish it from women.
So the obligatory thing is to leave the beard alone and let it be as it is. This is the obligation. And what helps you in that is to remember what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded, and to know that shaving the beard or cutting it is a contradiction of the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). And that whoever contradicts the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) intentionally is to be feared for fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Allah said: You are . So if you remember this warning, it will help you to adhere to growing your beard. And remember His saying, Exalted is He: . And likewise, if you remember the hadith of the Sunnah of fitrah (the innate natural disposition), of which growing the beard is a part, and that it is from the Sunnah of the Prophets, this also helps you. And remember also his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” That helps you to differ from those who shave their beards from among the disbelievers and the hypocrites, the Jews, the Christians, and the Zoroastrians. All of this helps you to grow your beard and not cut it or touch it. It also helps you to adhere to the rest of the Sunnahs and the legislative commands. Yes.
