The questioner : He says: O honorable Shaykh! Some women are lax regarding the matter of the awrah (the part of the body that must be covered). So one of them goes to a male doctor even when a female doctor is available, especially in the obstetrics and gynecology department. Also, one of them brings a woman to remove excess hair from her body, especially around the awrah, which necessitates exposing much of the awrah, especially at the time of marriage. Are these two things permissible for exposing the awrah, whether to a man or a woman?
The Shaykh : As for the first: if a woman needs to expose her awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) for childbirth, this is something resembling dire necessity, and there is nothing wrong with it.
As for the second, which is adorning oneself by shaving the hair around the awrah (the part of the body that must be covered), there is no need for it in reality, because the one who used to shave her hair from the time the pubic hair grew and did not need anyone else, she also does not need anyone else. And the matter of removing hair at the time of marriage or at the time of wedding, I have heard that some women use plucking, and I seek refuge in Allah. That is: plucking the hair from the face, so that if there is a single hair, she does not look at it except with a magnifying glass to remove it. And this is not permissible. Plucking is forbidden, indeed it is among the major sins. So the important point is that exposing the awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) if it is needed, there is nothing wrong with it, and without need, it is not permissible. Yes.
