Amongst Muslims, hair removal is part of an impulse towards general purity and cleanliness and includes the trimming of nails and the removing of armpit and pubic hair. Both men and women should remove armpit and pubic hair at least every forty days.
Pubic Hair & Shaving for Women
The Sunnah is to remove pubic hair with a razor and to pluck armpit hair with a tweezer (ouch), but most scholars agree that what matters is removing it, so other depilatory substances are permissible.
Abu Shaamah said: al-'aanah is the hair that grows on the rakab, which is what is underneath the bulge of the abdomen and above the private parts. Or it was said that it is the exterior of the private parts; or the private part itself, whether of a man or a woman.
People remove their pubic hair for different reasons. Some common reasons include: Personal preference: Some people may prefer the look and feel of having no public hair. Their partner's preference: There may have been an implied or explicit request to groom or remove the pubic hair.
Yes. Both women AND men are encouraged to keep themselves clean and trim whatever that you need to trim... armpit hair and pubic hair for both men and women.
Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, states: There is nothing wrong for a husband or wife, if they so wish, to shave each other's pubic hair, for certainly they are allowed to see or touch such areas of their bodies which must remain covered ...
According to the above discussion, in our opinion, touching private parts with the right hand is makruh tanzih and not prohibited. It is included in matters of manners and the restriction in the hadith is a form of guidance and education.
It is more hygienic not to shave it (although depilation does make pubic lice homeless). In removing their pubic hair, most women will get cuts or ingrown hairs, and some will develop inflammation of the hair follicles or hyperpigmentation.
Pubic Hair Trends
According to the researchers, when asked if they removed their pubic hair, 80% of women and 39% of men removed their pubic hair near the time of the survey. Also, 3% of women and 21% of men had never removed their pubic hair.
Clean-shaven pubes require a consistent and frequent schedule. If you want to keep things bald on your lower abdomen and below, you need to shave in the direction of hair growth several times a week.
Cutting nails and shaving the pubic hair are not things that are obligatory for the fasting person in particular, but they are not things that go against fasting either. Rather the fasting person refrains from eating, drinking and having intercourse, which are things that invalidate the fast.
Shaving, whether it's your legs, armpits, or pubic area, is a personal choice. You certainly don't have to shave before sex if you don't want to. Shaving pubic hair (or not) is a cosmetic preference, and it does not mean you are "cleaner" if you shave. If you do prefer to shave, try not to do it right before sex.
Thus, in our opinion, cutting hair and clipping nails during menstruation or major hadas is not prohibited. Especially, since Imam al-Ghazali used the phrase “لا ينبغي” which means “shouldn't”. Thus, it shows a restriction that is makruh and not prohibited.
From an Islamic perspective, cleanliness is so important that Muslims are required to not go longer than seven days without a bath, even if he is excused from going to Juma'h, or Friday Congregational prayer.
In our opinion, the original ruling of shaving leg hair for both men and women is permissible. The reason for this is that there is no commandment to shave it nor is there a prohibition to keep it.
Pubic hair removal has been common since the ancient times. In the Middle East, removal of the female pubic hair has been considered as a tradition of hygiene for many centuries, and it is recommended by Islam.
Here's what they found: 80% of women said they had removed their pubic hair recently at the time of the survey. Perhaps unsurprisingly, that number was only 39% for the guys. Just 3% of women said they had never removed their pubic fuzz.
Pubis Shaving
For many years, people never cared about shaving their pubic hair until the birth of bikini in 1946. Between the 1960s and 1970s, trimming took a different twist, and women were discouraged from trimming. In the 1980s, they were now encouraged on trimming and even to do a thorough shave.
Pubic hair holds on to residual urine, vaginal discharge, blood and semen. Bacteria line up all along the hair shaft just lunching it up and creating odor. (Very appetizing, I know.) Trimming your pubic hair reduces that surface area for bacteria, thus reducing odor.
Loving someone is not a sin. In fact, Islam has no rules regarding touching private parts with the mouth.
In front of her husband: There is no restriction in Islam on what body parts a woman may show to her husband in private. The husband and wife can see any part of each other's body especially during sexual intercourse. In privacy: It is recommended that a person cover his or her sexual organs even when alone in private.
“Muslims are required to clean themselves well with water before offering prayers. Cleanliness is half of the faith, according to the teachings of Prophet Mohammad.” After visiting the toilet, a person is required to clean his or her private parts thoroughly with water to keep the body clean, Ahmad added.
