Ruling on removing hair from the hands and legs for women and men

Question:
What is the ruling on removing hair from the hands and legs for women?

Answer:
It has been stated previously that we know of nothing regarding this. As for plucking the eyebrows, which is shaving the eyebrows, that is not permissible. As for the body hair on the hands or legs, we know of nothing regarding it. The hadith came with the cursing of the one who plucks her eyebrows and the one who has them plucked, and that is taking hair from the face, from the eyebrows. The scholars have specified this. So it is not permissible to take the eyebrows, nor to pluck them, nor the ordinary hair of the face.
As for a man or a woman removing the hair from their arms or legs, there is nothing wrong with it. It is prescribed for both men and women to remove the hair from the armpits and the pubic area: the pubic area is shaved, the armpits are plucked, and the mustache is trimmed. This is the sunnah (recommended practice). Trimming the nails is also a sunnah (recommended practice) for everyone, both women and men. The sunnah (recommended practice) is that this not be delayed for more than forty nights. Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We were given a time limit for trimming the mustache, cutting the nails, plucking the armpits, and shaving the pubic area, not to leave it for more than forty nights.
And what is prescribed for everyone, for the man and the woman, is clipping the nails, plucking the armpits, and shaving the pubic area in less than forty nights, meaning one attends to it regularly. The moustache, in the case of the man, likewise is not left for more than forty nights; rather, one attends to it and trims it before that, because it grows long and becomes ugly.
