is it true that muslims have to shave their pubic hair?

Question

if so, how often.

i need some proof so some links to websites would really help

Answer 1

Shaving is discouraged in any area, including the beard. However, it is encouraged to cut the hair in the private area with a pair of scissors once every forty days to make it easier to be kept clean. This applies to both men and women.

Answer 2

The first statement is wrong, one can shave if one wants to. A Muslim has to remove hair from the pubic area and cut their nails within 40 days to be clean and stay pure.

Volume 7, Book 72, Number 777:
Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "Five practices are characteristics of the Fitra: circumcision, shaving the pubic region, clipping the nails and cutting the moustaches short."


Volume 7, Book 72, Number 778:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

Allah's Apostle said, "To shave the pubic hair. to clip the nails and to cut the moustaches short, are characteristics of the Fitra."

Volume 7, Book 72, Number 779:
Narrated Abu Huraira :

I heard the Prophet saying. "Five practices are characteristics of the Fitra: circumcision, shaving the pubic hair, cutting the moustaches short, clipping the nails, and depilating the hair of the armpits."

Answer 3

yes, the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) specified a time limit within which people should cut their nails, shave their pubic hair, pluck their armpit hair and trim their moustaches, and not leave it for more than forty days. This was proven from the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him), who was the servant of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “He set a time for us to trim our moustaches, cut our nails, pluck our armpit hair and shave our pubic hair; we were not to leave that for more than forty days.” Narrated by Imaam Muslim in al-Saheeh (258). It was also narrated by Imaam Ahmad (11823) and by al-Nasaa’i (14) and a group with the wording: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) set a time limit for us, we were not to neglect our nails and moustaches, and shaving the pubic hair and plucking the armpit hair beyond forty days.” Both men and women must pay attention to this matter and not leave the nails, moustache, pubic hair or armpit hair for more than forty days.




P.S:
what ''Capri 1230'' said about that we follow prophet muhammd it's right because he does what allah told him he didn't make these things up so when we follow what he did we do what Allah wants us to do.
about the hair burning thing I don't know where she got that from I never heard it before!!!

Answer 4

Yes, Muslims are supposed to shave their pubic hair. Islam is a religion that is based on the actions of a man and his wives. Whatever, Muhammad did and Aisha, and any of his other wives, Muslims and muslimahs do the same. So, while they pretend to be believers in one god, they in actuality follow behind man. They also believe you have to burn the hair, or the jinn will get it, and do only they know what with. These same jinn that have married women and borne children with them.

Answer 5
