Answer
(Fatwa: 1969/1573/B=1431)
It is not lawful to cut the beard growing on any part of the jaw. However, if it exceeds one fist then you can cut it. You cannot cut it due to the pretext of people making fun of it. Yes, you can use medicine in order to grow the hair for the part where it does not grow.
