    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    The salah is makrooh behind an imam who trims his beard; therefore if there is any other mosque nearby where the imam is pious and following the Sunnah, then you should perform salah behind him. Yes, in case of compulsion, you can pray behind the imam mentioned above.
