The ruling on removing thick hair in the mustache area

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : A woman, Honorable Shaykh, says that she has thick hair in the mustache area. Is there any harm in removing such hair?

Answer : There is no harm in this, as long as it is between [the lips and the nose]. It is permissible for her to remove it, because if it becomes prominent, her face will resemble a man's face. This is disfigurement.
