On Letting the Beard Grow in Excess of a Fistful
by The Albaani Site
Questioner: We’ve heard that you say that letting the beard flow is just like letting the garments hang below the ankles?
Al-Albaani: Yes.
Questioner: That is your stance?
Al-Albaani: Yes.
Questioner: That means that whatever is in excess of a fistful is haraam?
Al-Albaani: We’ve spoken about that before.
Questioner: That it is haraam to let the beard flow in excess of a fistful?
Al-Albaani: Yes, we said it is haraam, a newly invented matter, i.e., an innovation in the religion.

Dear Abu Ahmed, Assalamu alaikum. I am confused. What I understood earlier was that Rasool SAW had plentiful of beard and this new post contradicts this understanding. Can you enlighten me more on this? Trimming the beard (to remove the excess of a fistful of the beard) is allowed? Jazak Allahu Khairan.
