Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to remove body hair or trim her nails?

There is no blame upon a menstruating woman for what was mentioned, as there is no evidence prohibiting it. The permissibility is indicated by the Prophet's (peace be upon him) command to Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) to comb her hair while she was menstruating, even though combing might cause some hair to fall out.
