Trimming the moustache

Q: I would like to know whether it is permissible to trim the moustache if I don't have a full 1 fist beard yet, but my beard is in the initial growing stages (I do have little hair on the 2 sides and on my chin). If it's not permissible and I have already trimmed it before and now it grows faster and thicker so should I trim it?

Shaving and trimming the beard

Q:

  1. Is it Haraam or Makrooh Tahreemi to remove the beard on the two parts of the cheeks and keep only the one on the chin?
  2. Is it Makrooh Tahreemi to remove the white beard on both (the thick and thin beard)?
  3. Is it better to repeat the salaah prayed behind a faasiq (one who shaves or trims his beard)?
  4. Can a faasiq be a witness or wakeel for a nikah?
  5. Some people remove the two side of the anfaqa (baby beard), what is the hukm?

Shaping the eyebrows

Q: I am worried about tidying my eyebrows. I heard the hadith that if you pluck your eyebrows you will never be able to smell the fragrance of paradise. Can you clarify as to what I am able to do about this within the limits of the shariah?
