Ruling on a woman removing hair growing on the face

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
At the end of this episode, we have a message from our sister listener from the sister country of Morocco, some of whose questions we presented in a previous episode. In this episode, she asks about the hair that grows on a woman's face. What is your opinion on removing it?
Answer: This requires a detailed explanation. If it is ordinary hair, it is not permissible to remove it, based on the hadith cursing the one who plucks her eyebrows and the one who has them plucked. The scholars of language have stated that *namis* (plucking) means removing hair from the face and the eyebrows. However, if it is something excessive, meaning it is considered a disfigurement of the natural creation, like a mustache or a beard, then there is no harm in removing it and no blame; because it disfigures her natural creation and harms her. As for the ordinary thing that does not involve disfigurement but is normal, she should not remove it, such as the eyebrows. Yes.
