Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She also asks, from the questions of this questioner from Syria, Your Eminence the Shaykh: What is the ruling on removing facial hair if its appearance is ugly and undesirable, especially in the area of the mustache above the mouth and below the nose? And does the hadith:Sunan Abi Dawud 4097Sahih (Al-Albani) imply the obligation to remove facial hair if it is thick?
Answer:
A woman may remove hair from her face if it disfigures her natural appearance, which is not the norm, such as a mustache or a beard; there is nothing wrong with this, because it disfigures the natural form and is harmful to her. What is prohibited is the eyebrows, the eyebrows of the eye; she should not take anything from them, neither by cutting nor by plucking. However, if hair grows on her cheek that disfigures the natural form in an unusual way, or on the mustache, or on the chin, or on the beard, all of this is removed.
