Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister asks, Honorable Shaykh, about the ruling on a woman removing the hair from her legs and arms by laser, saying that the hair on her body is above average.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with removing body hair by any means, except if the means is harmful, in which case it is not permissible to use it. If it is not harmful, there is no objection to removing body hair. However, note that it is forbidden for a woman to remove her eyebrow hair, that is, to pluck them. In fact, some scholars hold that even removing hair from the face is considered plucking. So she should fear Allah and not mess with her eyebrows. As for the rest of the body hair, removing it for cleanliness and adornment is permissible. Yes.
