Fatwa #275221 April 2001Pakistan

What are the rules regarding hair of testis. Should we trim with scissors or shave with razor. And also tell the rules of armpit.

Answer

Respected Brother-in-Islam

Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu

The area immediately under the navel is not to be shaven.
The area of shaving for a person (male / female) is above and around the
private parts. If possible, it is commendable to shave around the hind
private parts as well. (Al-Kamil, commentary of Muslim; Imam Nawawi vol.1
pg.128).

The hair of the armpit may be removed by using a shavor or scissors.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
