Removing body hair

Answered by 

Question:

Mufti Saab,

I wanted to find out that can a man shave the hair off his body besides his beard and eyebrows?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is against etiquette for a male to remove hair from his body i.e. the chest, arms, back and legs.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

Mufti Nabeel Valli.
