Is it permissible to shave the beard or trim it, given that one has found someone who issues a fatwa permitting it?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to trim the beard or shave it, and he has found someone who issues a fatwa to that effect?

Answer:
But the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not issue a fatwa to that effect; rather, he said, "Let the beards grow," "Honor the beards," "Let the beards grow long," and "Let the beards grow." He did not issue a fatwa to that effect; rather, he commanded the opposite. So we take the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), yes, and we let the beards grow as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded, and we do not pay attention to those who issue a fatwa to the contrary. Yes.
