Shaving the hair around the anus in the context of istihdad
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Yes. May Allah send blessings upon our master Muhammad. We are reassured. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the recommended practice of istihdad include shaving the hair that is around the anus, or is the Sunnah only to shave the pubic hair?
The Shaykh:
It is from the pubic area, around the anus, and from the pubic area he shaves it and removes it as well, because it may become contaminated by what comes out, which would defile them, so he removes it without a doubt.
