Is it permissible for my wife to remove the hair on her face using a laser, while keeping her eyebrows, due to excessive hair growth resulting from a hormonal imbalance?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no objection to a woman removing abundant facial hair with laser, as long as it does not cause harm, while leaving the eyebrows in their natural shape without excessive thinning. It is permissible to remove hair other than the eyebrows, especially for a married woman who wishes to adorn herself for her husband, or if the abundant hair causes psychological distress.
