Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. What is the ruling on shortening the beard for the sake of a job, or what is called arranging it, if my parents have requested that of me?
Answer:
This is selling the Hereafter for this world, and it is obeying the created in disobedience to the Creator. Therefore, this is not permissible. Provision is in the hand of Allah, and the provision of Allah is not attained through sins; it is attained through obedience and supplication. You should fear Allah[At-Talaq 65:2-3].

And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out (3) And will provide for him from where he does not expect.
وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ
