This is not a sin! Otherwise the Shafii Ulemas wouldn't have said it to be Sunnah...

It is Wajib TO Keep the beard One fist in length in the light of All 4 Imams
Imam Abu Hanifa

,Imam Shafaii

,Imam Malik

,Imam Ahmad Bin Hanbal

For Full Fatwa click here , in This Fatwa it is Mentioned:
In all schools of Islamic Law, it is considered wajib (mandatory) for a Muslim male to grow a beard. It is also wajib to let the beard grow a fist length. It is prohibited to cut or shave the beard. He who does so is a fasiq (sinner) and to shorten it less than a fist length is makrooh tahrimi (near haram). This is the view of the majority of scholars.
(see Wujoob I'efaaul-lihyah of Shaykhul Hadith, Ml. Muhammad Zakariyyah and the footnotes of ex-grand Mufti of Saudia - Shaykh ibn Baaz).
