Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner: Shaykh Nasir al-Din al-Albani.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: No problem, I want to ask a fiqh question.
The Shaykh : Please, go ahead.
The questioner: Regarding a woman's prayer, is it true that her prayer is not valid unless she removes the hair that is in...
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner: ...unless she removes the hair between the two hips.
The Shaykh : By Allah, I did not understand.
The questioner: Is a woman's prayer valid?
The Shaykh : I understood all of that, but I didn't understand the story about the hair.
The questioner: Yes, the prayer is not valid unless she removes the hair between the two hips, meaning the hair underneath.
The Shaykh : The hair of the awrah?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you. Yes, the prayer is not valid if she does not remove it?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : No, the prayer is valid, but it is obligatory for her to remove it.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : I mean, this is like the one who does not cut his nails; cutting the nails, and like the one who does not pluck his armpit, do you understand?
The questioner: Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : These are among the obligations, in that for the Muslim man and woman to be clean, he must cut his nails, pluck his armpit, and shave his pubic hair. But if he does not do so within forty days, he becomes sinful. However, before the forty days, it is permissible, and the prayer has no relation to the matter, meaning the prayer is valid.
