Question
Mufti Saab,
I wanted to find out that can a man shave the hair off his body besides his beard and eyebrows?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
It is against etiquette for a male to remove hair from his body i.e. the chest, arms, back and legs.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
Checked and Approved by,
Mufti Nabeel Valli.
