Ruling on Women Removing Hair from Their Arms and Legs

Also, the other question: What is the ruling on removing hair from the arms and legs for the sake of adornment?
Answer: I do not know of any harm in it. Removing hair from a woman’s arm or leg is not a problem; we do not know of any harm in it. As for the face, that is not allowed; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) , and the scholars of language mentioned that the *namisah* is the one who removes hair from the face or from the eyebrows. This is what is forbidden. However, if a beard appears on her, or a mustache appears, or if she has hair on her arms or legs, there is no harm in removing it, and there is no blame in that, if Allah wills.
