Is it forbidden for a woman to remove hair from the rest of her body other than the eyebrows?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I mean, regarding the hair of the entire body, it follows the ruling of the eyebrows, meaning.

The Shaykh: This is what I wanted to draw your attention to, and the attention of those around you.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh: Except for what the explicit text has ordered to be changed. You know the saying of the Messenger (peace be upon him):
Five things are of the fitrah خمس من الفطرة
.

The questioner : O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad. Yes.

The Shaykh: Do you remember this hadith?

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh: Ah, this involves changing, but it is a change commanded by the Shari'ah. As for plucking the arm, for example, or plucking the leg, this is changing the creation of Allah without permission from Allah or from the one who conveys the message of Allah, namely the Messenger of Allah. Is there anything else?

The questioner : Thank you, Shaykh. May Allah reward you a thousand times, O Lord of the Worlds.

The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you, and peace be upon you.

The questioner : May Allah reward you a thousand times, O Lord of the Worlds.

The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
