Question:
Is shaving the beard one of the major sins or one of the minor sins?
Answer:
It is a reprehensible act and a sin, but as for whether it is a major sin, Allah knows best.
Q: Does persisting in shaving the beard turn it from a sin into a major sin?
The Shaykh: The point is that it is a sin. Growing the beard is obligatory, and cutting it or shaving it is among the sins, but whether it is a major sin is a matter for another discussion.
