I have heard several times that it is not allowed in Islam for a woman to use metal on her body, i.e. razor as it is not acceptable and that it either says in The Quran Sharif or in a Holy Hadith that women are not allowed to use a razor or metal on their body. Please let me know if women can or cannot and the reasons. Thank you very much. Jazakallah Khair

razor blade.
