Is it OK to shave armpit hairs with a
razor?
Praise be to Allaah.
It is permitted, because the object is to remove the hair, whether by
plucking, shaving or some other method. Plucking is better, if one can manage it, because
the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The fitrah is
five things: circumcision, trimming the moustache, cutting the nails, plucking the armpit
hairs and shaving the pubic hairs.” (Agreed upon).
