Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on shaving the hair on the neck, which is part of the body hair for which no explicit text has come?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with shaving the hair on the neck, and there is nothing wrong with shaving the body hair. However, it is not permissible to shave the lower part of the head, because some people shave the back of the head, shaving part of their head from the back. This is not permissible because this is qaza' (shaving the head in a way that leaves a patch). As for the hair growing on the neck, the throat, the chest, the back, the legs, or the arms, there is nothing wrong with removing it. Yes.
