Recently, a sticker was published from Khanqah Imdadia Ashrafia by the call of Hazratwala (Shaikh ul Arab Wal Ajam, Arif Billah Hazrat Maulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Saheb damat barkartuhum), about the importance of beard in shariah and clarifying a common misunderstanding with regards to the law pertaining to the beard. It states:

COMMAND OF BEARD

To keep beard equal to one fist in length is not just Sunnah, but it is Wajib(Mandatory).
To shave beard or trim it less than one fist length is HARAM (strictly prohibited).
(Behisti Zewar, Chapter 11, Page 115)

Beard should be of one’s own fist length from all three sides (right, left and below the chin)
