Is it obligatory to shave the hair above the pubic area or that on the pubic area, and what are the rulings of puberty for men?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Pubic hair is the hair surrounding the private parts of both men and women. Shaving it is recommended, not obligatory.
The rulings of religious obligations, whether in worship or transactions, are not binding until one reaches puberty.
