The questioner : Is plucking the hair from a woman's face and legs considered plucking the eyebrows?
The Shaykh : Yes, plucking the eyebrows is plucking the hair from the face.
The questioner : The entire face?
The Shaykh : The face in general, from ear to ear and from the curve of the forehead to the bottom of the beard.
The questioner : And the legs and arms?
The Shaykh : No, they are not included in this, because they are not the plucking known among the Arabs. However, we say that removing hair from the legs, arms, and the like is permissible if there is a need, such as the hair being excessive and disfiguring. Otherwise, it is better to avoid it. Yes.
