Is it permissible to compel one's wife to remove pubic hair with a laser in specialized centers, knowing that she will expose her major nakedness (awrah) to another woman?
It is not permissible for a woman to remove pubic hair by having another woman do it for her. However, if she is unable to remove it herself, it is permissible for her to seek assistance from another person.
If the wife is capable of removing her pubic hair herself, the husband is not allowed to compel her to have a female doctor remove it. But if she is not skilled at removing it herself, he may compel her to seek assistance from another person. However, he does not have the right to compel her to remove it with laser, rather the wife chooses the method that suits her.
In general, a husband may compel his wife to remove pubic hair if she refuses, and she must obey him. However, the husband does not have the right to compel the wife to use a specific method.
