The ruling on shaving the mustache, trimming it, or leaving it

Question:
May Allah be merciful to you. This questioner says: Some people trim their mustache, some leave it as is, and some shave it with a razor. Which of these is closest to the Sunnah?

Answer:
Trimming the mustache is the Sunnah. One does not let it grow long; rather, he sits and tidies it so that it does not become disfiguring. This is the Sunnah. As for shaving it completely, that is not understood to be correct, because shaving is disliked. One does not shave the mustache. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say to shave it; he said, "Trim the mustaches," "Cut the mustaches," and "Shorten the mustaches." He did not say, "Shave them." Also, regarding this matter, one hides it, cuts it, or trims it, removing the excess and the stray hairs. This is the Sunnah.
This is the Sunnah. Leaving it completely untouched is not permissible. This is contrary to the Sunnah. It also causes disfigurement of the face. It also causes the food and drink from which one eats and drinks to be disfigured.
Because if it is long, it falls into the drink and disfigures it for others. So the one who leaves his mustache and does not touch it is acting contrary to the Sunnah. The one who trims it is acting contrary to the Sunnah. The one who trims it is following the Sunnah. Yes.
