Answer :

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

It is mustahab to remove one’s unwanted hair once a week, preferably on aFriday. It is makrooh to leave the unwanted hair for forty days or more.
 
It is not a condition fore the validity of umrah and haj to remove ones unwanted hair. It is however desirable to remove the unwanted hair before donning the ihram for umrah or haj.
And Allah knows best
