The Ritual Bath of Jumu’ah, Entering the Bathhouse, Its Etiquette, and Teachings on Cleanliness and Beautification
وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: «لاَ يُطَوِّلَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ شَعْرَ إِبْطَيْهِ فَإِنَّ اَلشَّيْطَانَ يَتَّخِذُهُ مِجَنّاً يَسْتَتِرُ بِهِ.
The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: 'None of you should allow the hair under his armpits to grow long, for the devil takes it as a shield to hide behind.'
