Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: What is the ruling on trimming the beard, and what is the limit of the beard?
Answer:
It is not permissible to trim the beard. The beard is not heavy enough to require trimming; it is not heavy. We have not seen anyone fall because of his beard. It is not heavy, and praise be to Allah. So how can it be trimmed? The beard is not to be trimmed, and it is not permissible to take anything from it, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded that it be honored and left long, and commanded that it be grown. Therefore, it is not permissible to take anything from it. Yes.
