Does shaving a man's pubic hair include all hair between the navel and the knee?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

What is meant by the pubic hair (al-anah) is the hair that grows around the private parts (front and back). It is recommended to remove it by any means, such as shaving, using a depilatory (nūrah), or plucking. Shaving is the most common method. Scholars have mentioned that removing hair from around the anus is more important, fearing that faeces might cling to it.
