Removing Ear Hair for Men
Question
Is it permissible for a man (when it bothers his wife) to remove hair on the ears? The question concerns both shaving and root removal, such as with laser?
(Not to shave, not to wear, etc.)
Answer
Hello
It is permissible to remove facial hair [in areas not included in the sideburns or beard], with scissors or a hair clipper.
Removing hair with laser and wax is not prohibited by the letter of the law, but it is preferable to be stringent in this regard.
Hair on the ear itself is not considered part of the sideburns, but rather part of the face.
