Ruling on a woman removing unwanted hair
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, who used the initials (S. H. M.) for her name, from Shaqra, says in this question: Regarding the removal of unwanted hair for a woman, what is the ruling on removing this hair permanently? That is, so that it does not grow back again; using cosmetic products such as creams and herbs. Does this constitute altering Allah’s creation?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with this, there is no blame on her, this is not the alteration that is forbidden. If she removes the armpit hair with something that removes it completely, there is no blame in that. The Sunnah is to remove it, and not to leave it for more than forty nights: the armpit hair, the pubic hair, the nails, and the mustache. This is how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set the time for people. If a man or a woman removes the armpit hair or the pubic hair with something that prevents it from growing back, there is nothing wrong with it and no blame on them. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
