MEN ! THE BEARED, IS THE ONLY VISIBLE SUNNAH YOU TAKE INTO YOUR GRAVE
بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ ﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم
Yoonus Ibn ‘Ubaid (رحمه الله) said:
“There is not a thing more stranger than the Sunnah. And what… is more stranger than it, is the one who knows it.”
O' men! The beard is the only visible Sunnah you take into the grave with you.
Shaving the beard is not permissible. SHAVING IT IS HARAAM!
The Prophet (ﷺ) says:
جُزُّوا الشَّوَارِبَ وَاعْفُوا اللِّحَى
“Trim the Moustache and grow the beard.”
أَرْخُوا اللِّحَى
“Let the beards grow.”
وَفِّرُوا اللِّحَى
“Let the beards grow fully.”
خَالِفُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ
“Differ from the polytheists.”
In the Hasanul hadith, when Kissra sent two of his men to the Prophet (ﷺ), their beards were shaved and their mustaches grown, the Prophet (ﷺ) disliked to look at them, and said:
”وﻱﻠﻜﻤﺎ! ﻣﻦ أﻣَﺮَآُﻤﺎ ﺑﻬﺬا؟“
“Woe to you! Who ordered you to do this (i.e. to shave the beards and grow the mustaches)?”
They said: “Our rabb (i.e. Master) — meaning Kissra.”.
Upon this the Prophet (ﷺ) responded: “But My Rabb (Allāh) Commanded me to let my beard grow, and to trim my mustache.” [hadith hasan]
The hair that grows on the cheeks is from the beard and it is forbidden to shave it."
•[Fatāwāh al-Lajnah (No. 4666)]
Allāh's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Ten are from the fitrah:

Try to befreind your muslim bro/sisters, If your friends mock bearded Muslims or women in Hijāb you will end up participating in their sins.
Likewise mocking the beard, SaLaah, any of ALLAAH’s names or anything pertaining to the deen is kufr.
And know that, If anyone criticises your beard, your Hijaab, your Thobe or your Abayāh, just remember you're here to please ALLAAH, not people
Let us take this famous story from Shaykh ibn Uthaymeen (رحمه اللّٰه):
Will I Lose My Beard?
During the last months of Shaykh Uthaymeen’s life he traveled to Rochester, Minnesota’s Mayo clinic to seek treatment for his cancer –(may ALLAAH ﷻ raise his rank to Firdaws).
They told him that chemotherapy would prolong his life and informed him the side effect of losing his hair.
He asked: (Will I lose my beard?)
They said: (Yes!)
He returned to Al-Qassim refusing the treatment because he could not see himself meeting ALLAAH without a beard.
End of qoute.
Finally
Trim the moustaches.”
عن النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أنه قَالَ “ أَحْفُوا الشَّوَارِبَ وَأَعْفُوا اللِّحَى
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Trim the mustache and let the beard grow.”
[حديث صحيح]•
He didn’t say: Shave it.
— According to Imaam MaaLik, shaving the moustache was mutilation; mutilating; the person is mutilating the creation of ALLAAH; and according to him a punishment is meted out for it. So how about today, wherein many people shave their moustache and their beard? They have become smooth faced and clean shaven; you cannot see in his face anything from manliness!
Brothers! Could you please take some time out and advice the Muslim barbers that they are sinning as well, when they shave the brothers beards and give them haraam hair cuts.
They have increased upon this today; they (even) shave their moustaches and their beards. We ask ALLAAH for security and safety.
May ALLAAH reward you in this world and the hereafter and remind one another for indeed reminders benefit the believers.
