Shaving the Entire Beard or Trimming It

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does one shave the entire beard or trim it?

Answer:
This is what comes, but shaving it is disliked. Shaving the beard is disliked because it disfigures the face. However, what is mentioned in the hadith is trimming and shaving it smooth.
