Assalaamualaikum , we have seen some hadiths on the importance of shaving pubic hair , but what is the right way of doing it? Is it ok if it is cut short with scissors? **Narrated By Abu Huraira : I heard the Prophet saying. "Five practices are characteristics of the Fitra: circumcision, shaving the pubic hair, cutting the moustaches short, clipping the nails, and depilating the hair of the armpits." Sahih al-Bukhari, The Book of Dress, Hadith Number:5952** I've asked some friends though , and they say use blade. But blades seem a bit harsh . Similarly there is a ruling of shaving it off within 40 days. So I wanted to know the truth behind this "40 day" term . Please answer with a hadith. So my question is , would scissors be alright to cut short with, and is there a 40 day threshold after which all good deeds are nulled? Baarakallahu feekum.

Ruling on shaving the head?
I have some hair damage and was recommended to shave my head to regrow new hair again. Is this forbidden? I know it is haram to imitate a man or a Kuffar women but I'm doing neither, I only want to get rid of my damaged hair and regrow it again.

Shaving in Islam
Assalamualaikum, I am 15 and I have just found out about the ruling of shaving the pubic hair (men's). I wanted to know if you could simply just cut it very short with scissors rather than shaving it and also how should we approach removing hair from areas around the back passage?

I want to start with this, but I don't want to blame him, I was provoked to shave my "uni brow" by my older brother as he teased me about at, so I did. I did not know it was haram at the time, and now realise it is a major sin. I hate my eye brows now but I also hate how I performed a major sin, how can I get forgiveness. Praying? What duah do I say? Thank you for your time.
