Question
Is it permissible for someone who is greatly distressed by the prohibition against haircuts, to the point where it is difficult to sleep at night, to slightly trim the thickness of his beard to alleviate his discomfort?
Answer
Hello Rabbi
If it is determined that one has fallen ill due to the beard, it is permissible to trim it.
