Removing pubic hair

· 23 Jumada I 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

When it comes to removing the hair from the private parts, there is a natural line from where the private parts start below which all hair is to be
removed. My question is does the hair between the naval and the natural line need to be removed?

Answer

It is permissible. However the hair from beneath the hair line should be removed.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
