Question
What is the ruling concerning the removal of women's body hair? If it is permitted, who is permitted to do that for her?
Answer
Praise be to Allah.
It is permitted for a woman to remove all her body hair, except for her
eyebrows and the hair on her head, which she is not permitted to shave or
remove by other methods. She may remove other hair herself, or her
husband or other mahram may remove it within the limits of what he is
permitted to see, or another woman may do this, within the limits of what
she is permitted to see.
