There is hair on my legs, and it is abundant and causes me psychological distress. I have burned it once and plucked it once. Is this forbidden?

The questioner : There is hair on my legs, and it is abundant and causes me psychological distress. I have shaved it once and plucked it once. Is this forbidden?
The Shaykh : If it is abundant and beyond the norm, there is nothing wrong with removing it, but he should not remove it by shaving, because when hair is shaved, it grows back stronger and thicker. However, he should remove it with the medicines available now, and there is no blame on him in that, as long as it is abundant and disfiguring. As for if it is ordinary, it is better to leave it.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and benefit the Muslims through you.
