There is no harm for a woman in removing body hair during or after menstruation if she needs to. There is no Sharia evidence prohibiting her from doing so. Although some scholars have recommended removing hair and nails while in a state of purity, there is no evidence to support this recommendation, as mentioned by Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah.
