Is it permissible for a woman to remove hair from her hands and legs, and is there a difference between a married woman and others?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This is a woman asking whether it is permissible for her to remove the hair from her hands and legs, and whether there is a difference between a married woman and an unmarried woman.
The Shaykh : As for when the hair on the hands and legs is excessive, there is nothing wrong with the woman removing it. But if it is ordinary, it is better not to remove it, because it is the creation of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and it is feared that removing it falls under the commands of Satan, for Satan says:[An-Nisa 4:119] Similarly, if a woman grows a mustache or beard, she may remove it, because this is a characteristic of men. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
