Umhh, if that guy is within the family or a husband, then it would be much easier to tell him. What i always say, its better u telling them and maybe hurt them slightly than other people feeling not comfortable being around them and maybe backbite about them.

yea dun like go up2 dem wen dey around ppl, coz it myt sound stoopid hun, bt dey myt nt b aware, so wen dis person is alone,n be like, listen yu hav a prob dat yu needa fix, tel em de situation nicely n tel em, yu knw if yu fix it ppl wil generally feel beta around yu, obviously no1 wants ta b around sum1 hu smells lik bo,

If it's not sum1 close mb yu can ask sum1 close to dem to ask dem, 2 b honest e-mail myt b easier, der les likely to get embaressed dat way, rememba yu wna help dem in de best wai posibel fo dem,

nehow tkr.

shaving armpits for men is halal? really?

i belive so yes

buy them some nice aftershave or something

sister tell him in a polite way, dont be blunt!!! you either say it nicely to him or keep your mouth shut


example 1 : 'brother, there is this nice deodorant i saw in boots just as i was walking by the mens section and it caught my eye,i was thinking of getting it for you but i thought id better ask you first,apparently if you take a shower beforehand and apply the deodorant it lasts longer and it gives of different fragrances,so what do you think its really nice'???

example 2: ufffffff what's wrong with you!! have u ever heard of a deodorant before,for goodness sake take a shower man!

of course i will tell him in nice way i aint going 2 b harsh

Telling him in a polite way is the best thing u can do sis.
but u can also tell him the Hadith that talks abt the five things that are part of Fitra

and Allah -swt- knows best

This is actually an encouraged practice in Islam. Allaah (swt) has prescribed for His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his Ummah the Sunan al-Fitrah (practices that are in accordance with the natural inclinations of man):

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Five things are part of the fitrah: circumcision, removing the pubic hair, trimming the moustache, cutting the nails, and plucking the armpit hair.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 5441)

For further information, you can see:

This kind of information might also be a good basis on which to tell the person. You could inform them of this practice in Islam and they might appreciate the need to act without being told directly.

alhamdulilah

masallah useful info allah hafiz

Send him an anonymous deodorant sample by mail..
They always send samples out through the mail, so it won't hurt his feelings (Insha'Allah)

or you can just give his address to one of these free promo sites, so they can do it directly

and Allah knows best
