Is it permissible to remove armpit hair with a depilatory?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the ruling on removing armpit hair with a depilatory?

The Shaykh : No, plucking is better. There is nothing wrong with removing it with a depilatory, but plucking is better. However, if plucking is very difficult for some people, there is nothing wrong with removing it with oils and the like.
