What is the ruling regarding plucking armpit hair?
Chapter on Utensils
Al-Mughni
Book of Purification
Primary text
Plucking the armpit hair (*nataf al-ibt*) is a confirmed Sunnah because it is part of the *Fitra* (natural disposition). Neglecting it leads to reprehensibility.
Supporting text
Removing the hair by shaving or using depilatory agents (*nura*) is permissible. However, plucking is superior because it aligns with the reported narrations. Ishaq preferred plucking if one is capable of performing it.
