Question

Assalam Alaikum Muftisab.

What’s the mas’ala regarding doing bikini laser by a female? The lady said they can either do straight or you could wear a disposable underwear.

Answer

In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Respected sister,

It is not permissible for a female to look at another female’s body from the naval to the knees without a valid sharʿī excuse. Having one’s bikini laser done is not considered a valid sharʿī excuse. Accordingly, having a bikini laser treatment done by another female is prohibited.

And Allāh Taʿālā knows best.

والنظر إلى العورة حرام إلا عند الضرورة كالطبيب والخاتن والخافضة والقابلة، وقد بينا العورة في الصلاة؛ وينظر الرجل من الرجل إلى جميع بدنه إلا العورة، وتنظر المرأة من المرأة والرجل إلى ما ينظر الرجل من الرجل
