Day Questions

If we do not shave or cut our pubic hairs and also underarm hairs, can we still offer prayers and will they be valid?

It is recommended to remove the hair from both mentioned areas. However, the validity of the prayer is not affected by not removing hair from there.

I committed a big sin and had sex outside the marriage, and after that I am now not able to concentrate, everything gone upside down, and I am feeling so guilty about myself, only one thing is coming in my mind that I cannot live with this guilty anymore and want to finish myself.

It is not correct to commit a greater sin because of committing a lighter one, since committing suicide is greater than adultery. You should repent from what you have done as Almighty Allah forgives all sins. You can guard yourself by getting satisfied through marriage whether it is permanent or temporary. May Allah help you pass this hardship.
