    Is it in the quran? Or is it against the quran?

    Interesting question, does the reference to not cutting hair apply to all hair?

      Generally speaking when a question like this comes to my head I think Would I get punished for not doing it?

      If you approach islam as a system then small things like these don't become a problem. The quran sets parameters and as long as we stay within them then we'll be fine. All commands in the quran telling us not to do something has a rational explanation behind it and not some mystical explanation.

      Yes we are told in the quran to keep clean and hygienic....The God has left it upto each and individual one of us on how to do that.

      So whether you shave it off or not, its upto you, there is no verse in the quran from my understanding about punishments for not being hygienic.

      PEACE

        Just as well, the thought of a girl with hairy legs

          I know that removal of pubic hair and the keeping of long beards is sunnah according to hadiths, but I don't think I read anything in the Quran about hair removal.

          As for shaving the pubic area, well, it could lead to ingrown hairs, and they might get infected, so I guess you could trim if you think it's more hygienic that way.

          Just my two cents,

          Peace,

          Sarah

            well, I guess if the girl wears skirts regularly it might make sense for her to shave or depilate, but if she dresses such that her legs are always covered, I don't see why she should have to.

                    I was referring to a host of clothes ranging from trousers, shalwars, churidars, chosh pajamas, abayas, long skirts, taubs, hijab...

                        you have to use your imagination?
                        It must be really active in a way it shouldn't be...
                        perhaps you should lower your gaze (2431) from the inner eye (your imagination)

                          Maybe a blindfold would work better !

                            it's not like you need any visual input to imagine. Did you know that the Taliban banned wooden heeled shoes for women?
                            Apparently the clip clop sound of wooden heels on stone pavement is provocative for the men.
                            Very strange when you think that they can see nothing of their bodies, since the women cover not only their whole body, hair and face, but even have a gauze veil over their eyes, and so, it's possible that there is a man under the veil...

                              What a horrible thought - a man under the veil! So what shoes do they have to wear? silent ones?

                                yes, soft soled shoes, this was during the time of the Taliban in Afghanistan, so I don't think it's still in effect.
                                I read it in the Reader's Digest.
                                They even severely beat up some men because they didn't have beards, and it might have been a racist attack because they were from some East Asian origin ethnic group and didn't have much facial hair naturally.

                                  That is so sad. I have a beard (of sorts) but that is by choice, I would never condemn anyone for not having one.

                                    Pubic hair has nothing to do with submitting to God. First we should be more concerned with the day of judgement. that would eliminate the mention of such a trivial matter.
                                    Read the Quran, hopefully that would bring you to a more enlightened state.
