Is it permissible for a married woman to seek the assistance of another woman to remove pubic hair with a laser, in the event that she is unable to remove it completely and the area becomes discolored?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a woman is unable to remove her pubic hair by herself except with extreme difficulty, there is no harm in her going to a female doctor to remove it. It is permissible to look at the 'awrah (private parts) out of necessity, just as it is permissible for someone who cannot shave their own pubic hair to have someone else shave it for them.
