Hair Entering Into The Anus

· 24 Dhuʻl-Hijjah 1445 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If a person has quite a lot of pubic hair in the back passage area near the anus, and feels that the hair that is connected to body might be going inside the anus, will that break Wudhu?

Answer

The hair around the anus should be removed and not left to grow so long. It seems farfetched that the hair will enter the anus passage on its own. However, if it enters and emerges, then Wudhu will be nullified.
