The questioner:
What is the ruling on some of the substances women use to remove the hair on the face, arms, legs, and so on?
The Shaykh:
If the substances do not contain impurity and are not intoxicating, there is nothing wrong with removing the hair from the hands and feet. As for the face, no, unless there is something extra, like a mustache or beard, that is removed. As for the ordinary hair, no, such as plucking the eyebrows. Plucking the eyebrows, taking the eyebrows, yes.
Another questioner:
The hair of the armpits and the private parts.
The Shaykh:
And the hands, there is nothing wrong with them.
Another questioner:
I mean, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh:
So there is no blame on you.
