Question:
What is the ruling on trimming the beard?
Answer:
The beard is not a burden, my brother. The beard is light and beautiful, and it does not cost you anything. So leave it as Allah created it, as beauty for you and as one of your features. It distinguishes you from women, and it distinguishes you from the Jews and the Christians who shave their beards. It is a mark of manhood. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
