Is it permissible for a woman to remove hair that has grown due to an illness?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, if hair grows on a woman.
The Shaykh : It is not permissible to remove it.
The questioner : No, I do not mean removing it.
The Shaykh : Plucking it.
The questioner : I do not mean plucking it.
The Shaykh : So.
The questioner : I mean if a woman grows hair that is not normal, meaning thick hair.
The Shaykh: May Allah guide you.
The questioner : And its appearance is due to an illness, meaning it is proven to be an illness—for example, abnormal glandular secretions or abnormal secretions—is it permissible to treat it?
The Shaykh : What is the treatment?
The questioner : With medications, meaning.
The Shaykh : I also tell you what I told your companion.
The questioner : It is not permissible.
The Shaykh : I tell you what I told your companion.
The questioner : My companion.
The Shaykh : The first questioner who asked about the grave buried in usurped land that belongs to the Christians. I say: If the hair that grew was not growing before, meaning it is not natural from the creation of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), but rather it is due to a temporary condition, then it is permissible to take the means that restore the temporary condition to its original state. However, if Allah (Mighty and Majestic) created that woman to be hairy, then it is not permissible.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
The Shaykh : It is not permissible to remove it.
The questioner : No, I do not mean removing it.
