Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : From King Saud University in Riyadh, the questioner M.F.S. asks: Is it permissible for a person to trim his beard, and what is the minimum limit for that, or should he let it grow fully?

The Shaykh : It is obligatory to let it grow fully, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family)
Differ from the Zoroastrians, let the beards grow, and trim the mustaches. خالفوا المجوس أعفوا اللحى وحفوا الشوارب
and in another wording
Let the beards grow and trim the mustaches. أرخوا اللحى وحفوا الشوارب
and in another wording
Let the beards grow and trim the mustaches. وفروا اللحى وحفوا الشوارب
So it is obligatory to leave the beard as it is, and not to touch it by cutting or shaving. Yes.

The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh Muhammad.
