Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a woman has hair growing on her face, is she permitted to remove it?
Answer:
Yes, if it distorts the natural appearance, it is removed, such as the beard or the mustache, or hair that distorts the natural appearance is removed. As for ordinary hair, you leave the ordinary hair; you do not touch it, because some of the scholars of knowledge classified it as plucking the eyebrows. Although the well-known plucking of the eyebrows is in the eyebrows themselves, some of the scholars of knowledge classified the hair on the face as plucking the eyebrows if it is ordinary. However, if it involves mutilation or distortion, such as the beard, or the mustache for a woman, or something long and abundant on the face, it is removed. This is the ruling for the woman, meaning.
