Ruling on Cutting and Trimming the Beard

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If one of them cuts from the beard, what is the ruling?

Answer:
It is not permissible. You should advise him and say to him: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Trim the beards and let the beards grow, trim the beards and let the beards grow, and differ from the polytheistsقصوا الشوارب واعفوا اللحى، قصوا الشوارب ووفروا اللحى، خالفوا المشركين
,
Trim closely the moustache, and grow beard, and thus act against the fire-worshippers.جزوا الشوارب وأرخوا اللحى، خالفوا المجوس
Sahih Muslim 260
. You should advise him and make it clear to him. Some people mention a hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
used to take something off the side and the bottom of his beardكان يأخذ من لحيته من طولها وعرضها
Mishkat al-Masabih 4439
, and this hadith is not authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
