Is trimming the beard impermissible? I have read many scholars stating that it must be left and trimming is haram.
In all four mathaahib, trimming the beard below the fist length is discouraged (makrūh), above the fist length is between permissible to encouraged (mubāh to mandūb), and above two fist lengths is between discouraged to prohibited (makrūh to harām)
Shaving the beard with a razor is prohibited in most mathaahib.
