Is it permissible to trim the beard on the grounds that the issue is a matter of scholarly disagreement?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some people are lax in trimming the beard and argue that the issue is a matter of scholarly disagreement among the scholars. Is there any basis for this claim?

Answer:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded to let the beard grow, to honor it, and to let it hang down. The hadiths on this are all in the authentic collections. Therefore, it is not permissible to take anything from it. Because this contradicts the growing and letting down that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded. The disagreement among scholars does not make something permissible for you. As long as you know that the second or third opinion has no evidence for it, it is not permissible for you to act upon it. Yes.
