Ruling on Trimming a Small Amount from the Beard

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on taking a small amount from the beard?

Answer:
It is obligatory to let it grow and not to touch it, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Cut the beards short, let the beards grow, and be distinct from the polytheists.قصوا الشوارب، ووفروا اللحى، خالفوا المشركين
Trim closely the moustache, and grow beard, and thus act against the fire-worshippers.قصوا الشوارب وأرخوا اللحى، خالفوا المجوس
Sahih Muslim 260
A small amount leads to a large amount, so it is obligatory to let it grow and hang down, and to be cautious of cutting it.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
