Pubic Hair and Shaving
-
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

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

Maybe a blindfold would work better !
how so?
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... -

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. -

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

Okay let's make it clear.
What does quran 4119 say?
it's talking about corrupting God's creation.
that makes me think of mutations and silicone implants and other unnatural things that cause damage to tissues below the skin.I don't see how keeping or removing body hair, depilation, shaving, cutting, dyeing, piercings, tattooing are corruptions of God's creation.
But female genital mutilation, circumcision, sex change operations (but not gender play or gender bending or any other form of self expression that should be left entirely to the freedom of the person involved), or lengthening of the neck using brass coils as in a Burmese tribal group; these seem to be corruption of God's creation.
I am aware that I have not provided proof, but my opinion, but that is because the word 'corrupting' can be interpreted in different ways. For me, that would be any form of modification that is more than skin deep and/ or is capable of causing net harm to the person concerned, sometime in the future.
It would be great to know other people's understanding of this verse.
Peace
