Is it permissible to shave the beard or shorten it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on shaving the beard or shortening it?

Answer:
It is not permissible to touch the beard, neither by shaving, plucking, shortening, nor by any other means. Rather, the beard is to be left long, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Let the beards grow long," "Let the beards grow long," and "Let the beards grow long." Therefore, it is not permissible to touch it.
