The Ruling on Removing Body Hair for Men and Women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The issue is that there is white hair on the body, in both men and women, which is considered a sign of age.
Answer:
No, it is permissible for a man and a woman to pluck or remove body hair, except for the hair whose removal is forbidden, such as the beard for a man and the eyebrows. It is not permissible to remove this hair. As for the rest, its removal is either recommended, such as trimming the mustache, removing armpit hair, and removing pubic hair—this removal is prescribed—or it is permissible, which is the rest of the body hair, such as on the arms, legs, back, and chest. Is it not permissible for a man and a woman to remove it?
