Is it permissble to shave the back of the neck / nape?What's the area that is permisable to shave behind .If it is halfway ear, this would look silly, as my hairline is to the bottom of ear.

Answer

It is permissible to shave the back of the neck, not the back of the head. The neck begins from below the earlobes. (Ahsanul Fataawa vol.8 pg.76; HM Saeed)
