Burying hair

Q:

2. Must the hairs that fall out when combining/brushing the hair be collected and buried?

3. Must the hair removed from the eyebrows, nose, mustache, chest, legs, etc. all be buried?

4. When having a shower/bath, hairs that fall off sometimes tangle up together around the drain. Must this be buried?

A:

1. Yes.

2. Yes.

3. Yes. It is impermissible to pluck, trim or shape the eyebrows. However if the hair is overgrown, then removing the overgrown hair and making it look normal is permissible. The overgrown strands of hair should be buried.
