Shaved body represents a women. Well i don't know about that but even i don't know, i would never recommend this to anyone. Be who you are.

if it doesnt make you look like a woman or is not in imitation of the non believers rituals... why would it be not allowed.!

i'd like to know the answer...

it does make you look like a woman, a man is supposed to HAVE hairs on his body unlike a woman.

using that logic... same goes for his face :/

Ali Iqbal | 12 years ago

yes absolutely. why don't people then keep a beard?

Muhammad Faizan Chaki | 12 years ago

as i see it, shaving off beard should be more controversial than shaving off chest!
infact.. i dont see anything wrong with a shaved chest.. it doesnt make one look like a woman! I like mine as it is... but for those who wish to make theirs otherwise is perfectly fine. who decides what a man is supposed to have and what not anyway!

Ali Iqbal | 12 years ago

you commit to something when reciting the Kalimah, all your decisions are according to the Quran and the Sunnah after that.

Muhammad Faizan Chaki | 12 years ago

i dont see how does that fit in :/ i didnt get you....

a side note, kalimah has become a habbit for us, so much so that i have seen guys unintentionally recite it before gulping down beer, and then think for a moment before they burst into laughter on their silliness.

Ali Iqbal | 12 years ago

Islam is not what muslims practice, but it is what the Quran and the Sunnah says.

Muhammad Faizan Chaki | 12 years ago

the side note was just for fun... what i mean is, where does chest shaving get controversial ... i dont get it.

Ali Iqbal | 12 years ago

it always was. even the name-sake muslims avoid it.

Muhammad Faizan Chaki | 12 years ago

so if my frend chanda does it.. it means he aint even a namesake muslim :/
how when where why... is it so.. isnt it the case that you are porbably mixing cultural bias with religion... just a thought!
think about it.

Ali Iqbal | 12 years ago

The Prophet Sallallahu Alayihi Wassallam was very hairy, very much, and it is in hadith, in book of bathing in bukhari. This is not a cultural thing, people today do not shave those parts which are to be shaved, but shave those which they should not.

Muhammad Faizan Chaki | 12 years ago

so this means, not shaving chest is good.. the thing is, is shaving it bad!
the prophet didnt use threading to smooth his hairline above his forehead, yet the scholars dont mind it!

the way i see islam, anything not prohibited, either explicitly or implicitly, is fine. shaving chest is not prohibited explicitly... my query would be, is there any implicit reference to its prohibition anywhere.
