Male removing hair from legs
Question
Is it allowed for a man to shave off the hair on his legs? I have a family member who has extremely long hair on his legs and he is not comfortable with it.
Answer
It is better not to remove the hair, but neither is it Haraam to remove it. [Re:- Fataawa Mahmoodiyyah Pg. 444 Vol.19] Based on the above, your family member may remove the hair from his legs.
