I don’t recall any specific requirement for underlines in Arabic. Just
 two things comes to my mind:

1. The need to specify the vertical place of the underline.
2. Avoiding overlap with the glyph shapes (like the picture blow).

Both of these make sense for Latin too, but are more important for 
Arabic. Is this helpful, or do we need serious study or documentation 
here? If this is enough, I can leave a similar comment there.
