Shaving the beard and mustache and imitating women

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is shaving the beard and mustache a form of imitating women?

Answer:
Without a doubt, there is no doubt about this. He who shaves his beard is imitating women, because he removes the mark of manhood, the mark of men, and becomes like a woman, who has no beard. So it is a type of imitation.
