Question
It is rumored among women that removing body hair by plucking is forbidden, while shaving is acceptable. Is this true?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: There is no difference in the permissibility of removing hair from the body, whether by plucking, shaving, or other means that achieve the intended purpose. It is not appropriate to pay attention to such statements, as they put women in a great predicament and can lead to marital problems. And God knows best.
