Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

1.      The Fuqahaa have mentioned that it is necessary to remove the pubic hair that appears above the private parts as well as that hair that appears immediately surrounding the private parts and the hair that is found on the private part itself.

وَالْمُرَاد ( بِالْعَانَةِ ) الشَّعْر الَّذِي فَوْق ذَكَرِ الرَّجُل وَحَوَالَيْهِ ، وَكَذَاك الشَّعْر الَّذِي حَوَالَيْ فَرْج الْمَرْأَة ،

(Sharah al-Nawawi ala Muslim Vol. 3-4 Pg. 140 Darul Ma`rifah)

Therefore it will be necessary to remove the hair that is found on the scrotum, the penis and the area immediately surrounding them.

2.      If the hair around the anus can be removed without difficulty, then it is highly preferable to do so.

 وَنُقِلَ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاس بْن سُرَيْج أَنَّهُ الشَّعْر النَّابِت حَوْل حَلْقَة الدُّبُر ، فَيَحْصُل مِنْ مَجْمُوع هَذَا اِسْتِحْبَاب حَلْق جَمِيع مَا عَلَى الْقُبُل وَالدُّبُر وَحَوْلهمَا

(Sharah al-Nawawi ala Muslim Vol. 3-4 Pg. 140)

 ويستحب إزالة شعر الدبر خوفا من أن يعلق به شيء من النجاسة الخارجة

(Tahtaawi ala Maraaqi al- Falaah Pg. 527 Ilmiyyah)

* We have reviewed our rulings, and have confirmed fatwa 12034. We will make the necessary change in fatwa 11324.

 And Allah knows best
