Fatwa – Electrolysis

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulihsan.com

Q: I would like to know if the process of electrolysis for removing unwanted hair is allowed or not?

A:

According to some cursory reading that I have done on the process of electrolysis for hair removal, it is not likened to tatooing and it would be permissible to use the electrolysis process to remove unwanted hair provided that the laws of Sharia regarding Pardah and other laws are not contravened.
