Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 816/679/B=1432) It is wajib to grow beard to one fist length. السنة فیہا القبضة (رد المحتار‏، کتاب الحضر والاباحة). You have choice in keeping more than it. If someone feels that leaving it uncut is better for him, he is free not to cut it, and if someone feels beauty in cutting he may cut it; rather it is better to cut it.
