Shaving the hair on the chest and legs for a man

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it permissible for a man to shave the hair on his chest and legs?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, but it grows back and irritates you. It is better to leave it and not shave it, because if you shave it, it grows back thick and irritates you. Leave it. Yes.
