In the Islamic context, "fitrah" refers to humanity's innate disposition toward virtue and the ability to differentiate between right and wrong. A common quote regarding fitrah, from the Prophet is "The fitrah consists of 5 things: circumcision, trimming the moustache, cutting the nails, plucking the armpit hairs, and shaving the pubic hairs."In this study, our aim was to determine the status of axillary and pubic shaving in medicolegal death cases that took place in the Konya Province of Turkey and to evaluate the relationship with the origin of suicide. Of 2850 medicolegal death cases, 206 (7.2%) were of suicidal origin. It was observed that the average age in the cases of suicidal origin was 36.76 +/- 17.72 years, and 146 of 206 cases (70.9%) were men. As a method of suicide, hanging was the chosen method in 100 cases (48.5%), whereas firearm injuries occurred in 54 cases (26.2%), and intoxication was involved in 37 cases (18.0%). Daily axillary and pubic shaving was observed in 26 of 2644 (1.0%) death cases that occurred with nonsuicidal reasons, but in 65 of 206 were (31.6%) suicidal cases. Because suicidal notes were present in 25 (12.1%) of all of the suicidal cases, the ratio of daily axillary and pubic shaving was significantly higher than that of the suicidal notes.In investigating the cases of suicidal origin for medicolegal purposes, evidence showing that this action was committed by the victim, the presence of a suicide note at the death scene and, a history of a previous suicidal attempt, it was thought that the presence of daily axillary and pubic shaving on external examination of the victim's body, when of Muslim faith, could also be considered a feature of suicide.
在伊斯兰教语境中，“天性”指人类对美德的内在倾向以及区分善恶的能力。关于天性，先知有一句常被引用的话：“天性包含五件事：割礼、修剪胡须、剪指甲、拔腋毛和剃阴毛。”在本研究中，我们的目的是确定土耳其科尼亚省发生的法医学死亡案例中腋毛和阴毛剃除情况，并评估其与自杀根源的关系。在2850例法医学死亡案例中，206例（7.2%）源于自杀。观察发现，自杀案例的平均年龄为36.76±17.72岁，206例中有146例（70.9%）为男性。作为自杀方式，100例（48.5%）选择上吊，54例（26.2%）为火器伤，37例（18.0%）涉及中毒。在2644例非自杀原因导致的死亡案例中，有26例（1.0%）日常有腋毛和阴毛剃除情况，但在206例自杀案例中有65例（31.6%）有此情况。因为所有自杀案例中有25例（12.1%）留有遗书，所以日常腋毛和阴毛剃除的比例显著高于留有遗书的比例。在出于法医学目的调查自杀根源的案例时，有证据表明该行为由受害者实施、死亡现场有遗书以及有过自杀未遂史，人们认为，对于信仰伊斯兰教的受害者尸体进行外部检查时，若发现其日常有腋毛和阴毛剃除情况，这也可被视为自杀的一个特征。
