It was previously explained what the Sunan al-Fitra (practices of innate disposition) are. The hair can be removed by plucking, shaving, or using a depilatory. For the mustache, it is recommended to trim it; for the armpits, plucking; and for the pubic area, shaving.
Circumcision for a man is performed by cutting the foreskin of the glans penis, and for a woman, by removing the small piece of skin at the top of the vulva. It is obligatory for men and an honorable act for women.
As for masturbation, its ruling has been previously explained.
