Consensus Among Tabaeen And Major Scholars On Beard
Despite an apparent consensus, at the core, it is a matter of interpretation (feham) based on certain Hadith narrations. In matters of understanding, even interpretation of Sahaba can be argued against, on the basis of arguments. Just the way Sahaba and early scholars agreed on many interpretations, similarly they disagreed on several. And matters of interpretation should always be approached through academic route and not through an emotional route.
