Ruling on removing hair growing on a woman's face

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: What is the ruling on removing the hair that grows on a woman's face?

Answer: This requires a detailed explanation: If it is ordinary hair, it is not permissible to remove it, based on the hadith:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who plucks her eyebrows and the one who has them plucked.لعن رسول الله ﷺ النامصة والمتنمصة
. Plucking eyebrows (namus) is the removal of hair from the face and the eyebrows. However, if it is an excess that is considered a disfigurement of the natural creation, such as a mustache or a beard, there is no harm in removing it and no blame; because it disfigures her natural creation and harms her.
