Ruling on taking from the beard, armpits, fingernails, and pubic hair of a deceased person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: Is it permissible to take the beard, armpits, fingernails, and pubic hair of a deceased person?

A: It is recommended to trim his beard and clip his fingernails. As for shaving the pubic hair and plucking the armpit hair, I do not know of any evidence indicating its prescription. The better course is to leave that alone, because it is a hidden matter and not prominent like the fingernails and the beard.
