Fatwa CenterShaving or trimming the hair below the belly
Question
1. is it permissible for men to wear a bright red shirt. 2.is it necessary to completely shave the hair below the belly or trimming is possible.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.
We have already issued Fatwa 83820 about a man wearing red clothes, so please refer to it.
With regard to shaving the hair, if you refer by this to the pubic hair, then we have discussed this in Fatwa 87389. Indeed, it is legislated to shave it as we were instructed by the Prophet 
; in this regard, please refer to Fataawa 84987 and 90908.
As regards leaving pubic hair and trimming it, this is not legislated and it is disliked to do so because it is disliked to leave pubic hair more than 40 days as clarified in the above referred Fataawa, and the Fitrah (natural disposition upon which Allaah created mankind) suggests not leaving the pubic hair. However, if you refer to the hair which is above the pubic hair, then we clarified the ruling of shaving it in Fatwa 87794.
Allaah Knows best.
