Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible for a man to shave the hair from the rest of his body, such as the chest, feet, and legs?

Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with it. He may remove the hair from his body using depilatory creams, wax, or the like; there is nothing wrong with that. What is forbidden is removing the beard; that is what is forbidden. As for the rest of the body hair, there is nothing wrong with it, especially if it causes him discomfort.
