Removing Body Hair as a Cyclist: Permissible or Not?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I am an active cyclist. Crashes are often and we tend to get a lot of cuts and bruises on our body which causes our hair to get stuck to it and infect it. Is it permissible for a man to remove his legs and arm hair in this situation?

Bismillaah

A: Rather leave out the cycling.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
