Is there any obligation by Islam on the size of hair allowed in armpits or pubic hair for men?. I have heard different versions ranging from grain size to what not. Do we even have to shave at all?. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
its better to shave it every week...
u shouldn't leave it for more than 40 days...
TaZ, Where did you get this info?. I wana know Islam's stance on this. Not Pakistani, not Arabic , not any culture BUT Islam's.
Thanks.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) also set a time limit of forty days, and the hair should be left any longer than that,because of the hadeeth of Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him), who said: “He set us a time limit of no more than forty days for trimming the moustache, clipping the nails, plucking the armpit hairs and shaving the pubic hair.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 10/284 and Muslim, 1/222).

However, leaving them for more than forty days does not have any effect on the validity of a person’s prayer, and to say that it does reflects ignorance of the pure sharee’ah.

Great question.
"plucking the armpit hairs"
Ouch- anyone who does this deserves a place in heaven as far as I'm concerned.
