Shaving the thick hair under the beard

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a person to shave the thick hair that is on the neck under the beard?

Answer:
The beard is what grows on the cheeks and the chin; this is what is called the beard, as stated in the dictionary. What grows on the cheeks means the sideburns, and the chin is where the two sides of the beard meet. However, one should also not take what is around it, because there is a fear that he will become bold with the beard later on, so he does not take what is around it. Yes. Regarding the circle, he leaves it as a sanctity for it. Yes.
