The Shari'ah limit of the beard and taking the hair from the cheeks

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the Shari'ah limit of the beard? And is it permissible to take the hair on the cheeks?

Answer:
The Shari'ah beard is what grows on the temples and the chin. The temples are the two bones on your face, one bone here and one bone here. What grows on them is the beard, and what grows on the cheek is not part of the beard. Yes.
