What is the ruling on a woman removing the hair on her nose or cheeks?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. In the last of their questions, they ask: What is the ruling on cleaning the nose by plucking if there are some hairs on the bridge of the nose?

Answer:
This is called *hif*, which is the removal of facial hair, whether on the nose or on the cheeks. This is called *hif*, and the scholars differ on it. Some include it in *nams* (plucking the eyebrows), which is prohibited and for which a curse is threatened. Other scholars say this is not *nams*, and there is no harm in it when there is a need. If it disfigures the face, there is no harm in removing it. However, if it is ordinary and does not disfigure the face, it should be left alone, to avoid the disagreement and to be cautious with one's conscience. Yes.
