Removing Hair from another’s Private Parts

Question

Is it permissible for couple to help each other remove the hair from their private parts?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

Bahz Ibn Hakeem  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  him narrated from his father, from his grandfather that he said: “I said: O Messenger of Allah! Our private parts? What is allowed for us to show and what should we conceal (from the people's eyes)?” He (the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention )) said: “Protect (guard) your private parts except from your wife and from that your right hand possesses; i.e., slave-girls.” [Ahmad, Abu Daawood and At-Tirmithi]

Therefore, it is lawful for both spouses to get pleasure and satisfaction from each other's genital organs by watching, touching and sexual intercourse.

So, there is no legitimate prohibition regarding removing the hair from the private parts of one's spouse, since more than that is allowed (as aforementioned).

Allah knows best.
