Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is shaving the beard with a razor contrary to the Sunnah?
Answer:
It is disliked. In fact, it is narrated from Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) that he would impose a discretionary punishment on the one who does it, because it is disfiguring. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Trim them, trim the beards." He did not say, "Shave them." He said, "Trim them." Yes.
