Is it permissible for a mother to remove hair from the 'awrah of her young daughter without staring intently?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible for a mother to remove hair from her daughter's 'awrah (private parts), due to the prohibition against uncovering 'awrah and the obligation to guard it, except for a wife or what one's right hand possesses. However, if there is an urgent necessity, such as the daughter being physically disabled, then it is permissible in that case. It is preferable for the mother to guide her daughter on how to remove the hair, or to use depilatories that make direct contact unnecessary.
