Removing hair with a laser and exposing the 'awrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: In our present day, a large number of women have started visiting laser clinics to get rid of unwanted hair. The woman is forced to expose most of her body to the nurses, male or female, and she exposes even the 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) that is strictly forbidden to expose. Is this permissible?
Answer:
No, this is not permissible. She can remove it herself, remove it herself with a remover, with scissors, with a razor; she removes it herself. Yes.
