Question: When does one make Sajdah Sahw and how should it be observed?

Answer: If any or several of the Wajib acts of Salaah is left out forgetfully, it becomes Wajib to make Sajdah Sahw. By making Sajdah Sahw, the Salaah becomes proper. If one does not make Sajdah Sahw, the Salaah will have to be repeated.

The method of making Sajdah Sahw is that in the last Rakaat the person should recite the At Tahiyyat only and thereafter make Salaam to the right only and thereafter make two Sajdahs. He should then repeat the At Tahiyyat and thereafter recite the Durood, Dua, make Salaam to both sides and thereby complete his Salaah. [Behishti Zewar Page 212]

Question: When should one trim the beard?

Answer: The Sunnah lenght of the beard is one fist.

It is narrated that Sayyidina Umar Al Farouq RA. once saw a person who had allowed his beard to grow beyond the natural limits. Sayyiduna Umar RA. instructed another person to cut that which grew beyond the lenght of one fist. After it had been trimmed, Sayyiduna Umar RA. said, "Why does one of you allow his beard to grow so long, that it makes him look like some wild animal?" - Umdatul Qari Vol 22, Page 47

This incident points to the fact that having an extremely long beard is despicable and that it is permissible to trim the beard after is surpasses the lenght of a fist.
