Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : With the beginning of this session, we welcome Shaykh Muhammad. Welcome, Shaykh Muhammad.
The presenter : Welcome, and greetings.
The questioner : A woman asks, Shaykh: Is it permissible for a woman to remove the hair from her hands, legs, and forearms for the purpose of beautifying herself for her husband?
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment. If the hair is abundant, such that it resembles men's hair in these places, there is no harm in her reducing it. However, if it is not abundant but is normal, she should not do it; that is, she should not remove it. This is the creation of Allah the Exalted. Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, created it for a wisdom, and there is no need that calls for its removal if it is not disfiguring. Yes.
