Ruling on trimming the beard and grooming it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The last question asked by our brother Hammad is: Is it permissible to trim the beard and groom it so that it becomes half a fist in length?

Answer:
That is not permissible; rather, it is obligatory to leave it and let it grow as it is. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Trim the mustaches and let the beards grow; be unlike the polytheists.قصوا الشوارب، وأعفوا اللحى؛ خالفوا المشركين
And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Cut the beards short, let the beards grow, and be distinct from the polytheists.قصوا الشوارب، ووفروا اللحى، خالفوا المشركين
In the other wording, it is:
Let the beards growأرجو اللحى
All of this indicates that it should not be touched in any way, neither by cutting nor by grooming. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
