Bismillah
As-salaamu 'alaikum,

In Hanafi madhab,

Beard is Sunnah, not wajib. Shaving it all, is permissible. However, once you intentionally let it grove, then it is haram to shave.

As far as i know the essence is wajib and the length is sunnah mu'akadah.
Hence according to the majority opinion(?) it would be concidered unlawful to trim it less than a fist length.

Now in the Shafi'i madhab there are two positions. Both are that the essence is sunnah.

1. It's makrooh to trim it.

2. The sunnah is fulfilled by keeping a small beard (this position is also existant in the Maliki madhab).

It's also important to understand that when makrooh is mentioned in the Shafi'i madhab, it is not that of makrooh tahrimi. Therefore one would not be concidered sinful for shaving the beard.

Wa's-salaam
