Is it necessary to shave armpit and pubic hair every time I go for Umrah?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is desirable for one who intends to enter into a state of ihram for Umrah to cleanse himself by removing dishevelment, eliminating foul odors, plucking the armpit hair, trimming the mustache, clipping the nails, and shaving the pubic hair; however, it is not obligatory upon him to do so.
