Cutting split ends of one's beard

Q: If I have hairs with split ends in my beard and bite the split ends off is this a sin? People say that split ends hinders hair growth.

A: The beard holds an extremely important position in Deen. Hence you should refrain from cutting these split ends.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
