Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
As-salaam ‘alaykum Warahmatullah, My question is: Is it permissible for a woman to remove facial hair (cheeks, upper lips etc) by means of the laser treatment, instead of waxing, threading etc. Also, keeping in mind that the method isn’t quite permanent, and you’ll always have some hair growing back (although not as much).
Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
I pray this finds you in the best of health and spirits.
Yes, such hair removal is permissible–for those places where hair removal is permissible. (Women shouldn’t use it to remove the hair on their head, for example–though that isn’t likely, Alhamdulillah.)
And Allah alone gives success.
