Question

Is it necessary to remove the hair from the hind private part?

Answer

The famous view is that it is not necessary to remove the hair of the hind private parts, as it is necessary for one to remove the pubic hair.

Allama Tahtaawi Rahimahullah has considered the removal of the hair on the hind private parts to be Mustahab and not necessary. However, the view of Allama Shaami Rahimahullah is that removal of these hairs is even more emphasized than that of the pubic hair. In other words, when it is necessary and important to remove pubic hair, it will be all the more important to remove the pubic hair of the hind private parts. [Re:- Ahsanul Fataawa Pg.78 Vol.8]

والعانة الشعر القريب من فرج الرجل والمراة ومثلها شعر الدبر بل هو اولٰي باللازالة لئلا يتعلق به شيء من الخارج عند الاستنجاء بالحجر (فتاوي الشامي 481 ج2)

ثم العانة هي الشعر الذي فوق الذكر وحواليه وحوالي فرجها ويستحب إزالة شعر الدبر خوفا من أن يعلق به شيء من النجاسة ) طحطاوي علي المراقي ص287)
