Shaving the beard after the sacrifice for one who has left it uncut during the ten days

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Some people, may Allah guide them, refrain from touching their beard hair during the ten days because they intend to perform the sacrifice. When they sacrifice, they shave it or trim it. Is this permissible?

Answer:
No, this is not permissible. The beard is to be left uncut. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Let the beards grow,أعفوا اللحى،
and he said:
Let the beards grow, let the beards hang down,أرسلوا اللحى أرخوا اللحى،
So it is not permissible to touch it.
