Can women shave the hair of their arms and legs as I have heard it is not permissible, but some say that removing it is okay, but without shaving i.e. using another method e.g. waxing?
Wa Alaykum Assalam wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuhu,

One may remove such hair to the best of their ability, without risking harm to one’s body. This may be done by any conventional means, including shaving.
