Using Oils to Remove Hair Instead of Plucking
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh (may Allah preserve you), is using certain oils to remove hair for a man sufficient in place of plucking?
Answer:
Yes, if it is removed by means other than burning, that is sufficient. Here, one applies something to remove it from the armpit and the pubic area, whether by means other than burning or other than plucking. Plucking the armpit and burning the pubic area are the specific methods, but the important thing is the removal of the hair. So if it is facilitated to remove it from the armpit by something else, or from the pubic area by something else, praise be to Allah.
