Shaving the Entire Beard

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh (may Allah preserve you), what is the ruling on shaving the entire beard?

Answer:
The Sunnah is to trim it, but shaving it off, trimming it to the point of shaving, and not shaving it; the Sunnah is to trim it as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded. Yes.
