Question
Will the prayer of one who leaves his pubic hair and does not shave it for a month be accepted?
Answer
Praise be to Allah.Shaving the pubic hair – the hair that grows around the private
parts – is part of the sunan al-fitrah (actions that befit the
natural state of man). They should not be left without shaving for more than forty days
because of the proven hadeeth to that effect. However, leaving them for more than forty
days does not have any effect on the validity of a person’s prayer, and to say that
it does reflects ignorance of the pure sharee’ah.
