The beard has to be a minimum of a fist length on each side so it should be a fist length evenly.

As for the Saudis, then bring up the narration about Ibn Umar . They are probably aware of it and will say something like, "This was the practice of Ibn Umar alone and is not proven from Rasoolullah ". To that, ask them who knows the sunnah better: these scholars or Ibn Umar ?

Dude, scholars are not like that. They don't avoid any narration. They take this quote of ibn 'Umar as a practice only at the time of hajj and 'umra and thus it is permissibile at these times only. They don't say he was wrong, that's a huge misconception. They say that people have misunderstood his practice. Do you possibly have knowledge on my other question though about straightening the beard?
