What is the ruling on removing hair from the hands, legs, and face (without touching the eyebrows)? Does not removing hair from the hands and legs invalidate the prayer? And is removing it considered an encroachment upon the blessings of Allah?

There is no harm in a woman removing hair from her hands, feet, and the rest of her body, with the exception of the eyebrows. This is because the default rule is permissibility, and there is no prohibition mentioned concerning this matter.
