As salaam alaikoem,
As far as i now, the hair on private parts and under the arm has to be removed within 30 or 40 days. My question: I want to now how sholar think about this. The beart of a man shout not be shaved, because he imitated the disbelievers, but also it's the creation of a men.
Then what is the meaning of shaving hair on privat parts or under the arms. We also are created that way by Allah (swt). Is it because it is better for cleaning? And why then Allah created us on these parts with hair? The question is not to searching a way for shaving a beard or something, it's just i want to now and follow Islam as good as i can, but there are questions in my mind and i would like to have them explaned. Another question: May a woman shave her legs?

Alikom Assalaam
Aa�ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) who said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: �Ten (actions) are part of the fitrah [natural inclinations of man]: trimming the moustache, letting the beard grow, using the siwaak (tooth-stick), rinsing the nose with water, clipping the nails, washing the finger joints, plucking the armpit hairs, shaving the pubes and washing oneself with water after relieving oneself.�
Allah has created every thing out of His Hikamah and wisdom,and if He ordered us to remove it,it is out of His Hikmah and wisdom.
For your second question:It is permissible for her to do that, apart from the hair of the eyebrows and head. It is not permissible for her to remove the hair of her head or to remove any part of the eyebrows, whether by shaving or any other means.
