Q: Is the Salah (Prayer) of a person who does not shave his pubic hair for more than a month accepted?

A: All Praise be to Allah Alone and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, his family and Companions. Shaving the pubic hair is one of Sunan-ul-Fitrah (Islamic practices of personal hygiene). It should not be left without shaving for more than forty days, as there is a Hadith authentically reported regarding this. However, this has nothing to do with the validity of Salah. Claming so is out of ignorance of the rulings of Shari`ah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
