As salamualaikum
This email is in relation to a question posted by brother with regards to what hair can be removed on the body of a male.
This was the responce "
Praise be to Allah
In Islamic shari’ah, hair is divided into 3 types:
First: Hair that has been ordered to remain, such as man’s beard.
Second: Hair that has been ordered to be removed, such as pubic hair, the hair of the armpits, and the extension of the mustache if it reached the lips.
Third: Hair about which we are told nothing, such as hair of hands, legs, chest, and back; this hair is permissible to be removed.
That which we are commanded to remove is armpit hair and pubic hair, and the moustache in the case of men.
That concerning which sharee’ah says nothing is forgivable (and is the matter of personal choice), because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “What is halaal is that which Allaah has permitted in His Book, and what is haraam is that which Allaah has forbidden in His Book, and what He has remained silent about is forgivable.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1726; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.
That includes hair in the nose, on the chest, and on the legs and arms.
It says in al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah (18/100):
With regard to shaving body hair in the case of a man, it is permissible according to the Maalikis, and it was said that it is Sunnah. What is meant by the body is everything except the head.
And Allah knows best"
