The answer

Hair in Sharia is of three types: that which is commanded to be kept, like a man's beard; that which is commanded to be removed, like underarm and pubic hair, and what grows long from the mustache; and that which is not mentioned, like hair on the hands, legs, chest, and back, and it is permissible to remove it.
