Forcing a wife to remove excess hair
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our Shaykh, a questioner asks: He says: Is it permissible for a husband to compel his wife to remove excess hair, such as from the pubic area and the armpits, if he is bothered by it?
Answer:
Without a doubt, she is required to do so if her husband orders her to. This is among the sunnah (recommended practice) of the Prophets: plucking the armpit hair, removing the pubic hair, cutting the nails, and circumcision. All of these are from the sunnah (recommended practice) of the Prophets for both men and women. Yes.
