Hair Removal by Laser and the Seventy Thousand Who Enter Paradise Without Reckoning

The questioner:
A questioner asks, saying: Your Eminence the Shaykh, does hair removal by laser or cauterization, which prevents one from being among the seventy thousand who enter Paradise without reckoning or punishment, count as such? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
As for the seventy thousand, it is difficult for a person to be among them; one is not among them except through his deeds. They are the nearest to Allah, the seventy thousand are the nearest, and after them are the righteous, and after them the rest of the Ummah. It is not merely a matter of leaving cauterization and thereby becoming one of the seventy thousand. One must perform the deeds of the seventy thousand; he must do his deeds. Yes. And as for cauterization by laser, I do not know; I do not know its reality. Yes.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh:
If it involves fire, it is disliked. It is disliked if it involves fire and burning with fire. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence the Shaykh,
