The answer

Plucking the armpit hair and shaving the pubic hair do not affect the fast. Both are for the fasting person and others, based on the saying of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace: "The fitra (natural disposition) is five: circumcision, shaving the pubic hair, trimming the mustache, clipping the nails, and plucking the armpit hair." The Sunnah for removing pubic and armpit hair is weekly, and it is permissible to remove it by any method as long as it does not exceed forty days.
