What is the plucking of hair that Allah has forbidden?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: ... Is that possible?

The Shaykh : Please, go ahead.

The questioner: I want to ask you about the woman who plucks her hair and the one who has it plucked. One woman told me that the plucker is the one who, for example, removes only her eyebrows, and another woman told me that the plucker is the one who removes the hair on her hands, legs, and face. They told me this is forbidden in Islam. So, what exactly is the plucking that Allah forbade? Is it just removing the eyebrows, or did He forbid removing the hair on the hands and legs?

The Shaykh: The second opinion is the correct one.

The questioner: Yes, removing the hair on the hands and legs?

The Shaykh: Anything on the body of a woman or a man that the Shari'ah has not permitted to be removed is not permissible to pluck.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh: Everything.

The questioner: Well, for example, what about the women who wear the hijab.

The Shaykh : Yes?

The questioner: The women who wear the hijab, you mean.

The Shaykh: What do I need to know about the women who wear the hijab? Did you understand the question and the answer or not?

The questioner: Ah, yes, but I mean, right now.

The Shaykh: What do I need to know about the women who wear the hijab now?

The questioner: I mean, right now, if a woman, for example, removes the hair on her hands and legs.

The Shaykh: May Allah guide you.

The questioner: I mean, no.

The Shaykh: May Allah guide you.

The questioner: That this, for example.

The Shaykh: May Allah guide you.

The questioner : May Allah keep you safe.

The Shaykh: May Allah guide you. What is the benefit of talking if you do not understand?

The questioner: No, I understood you, that removing means...

The Shaykh: Then why are you repeating yourself?

The questioner : Ah.

The Shaykh: We do not have time. May Allah guide you. Now, there is half an hour left for questions.

The questioner: Ah, if Allah wills... I am sorry for the disturbance.

The Shaykh : Pardon me.
