Is it permissible for a girl to pluck the hair on her hand because it is long and disfigures a woman's beauty?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it permissible for a girl to pluck the hair on her hand because it is long and disfigures a woman's beauty?
The Shaykh : Yes, if the hair on the leg or the arm is excessive and disfiguring, there is no blame on her to reduce it until it becomes normal.
As for if it is normal and not disfiguring, the best is to leave it, because Allah the Exalted did not create it except for a wisdom, and it is feared that removing it would be from changing the creation of Allah.
That is because the ruling on hair is divided into three categories:
A category where its removal is prescribed, such as shaving the pubic hair and the armpits, and trimming the mustache; a category where its removal is forbidden, such as the beard, for shaving it is forbidden; and a third category about which there is no specific text, but the best is to leave it, unless there is disfigurement in it, in which case there is no blame in removing it.
