Removing hair in the state of haidh
Question
Is it permissible for women in menses to remove hair from their faces and legs?
Answer
In the state of haidh (menses) it is makrooh for women to remove their unwanted hair. Hence, they should refrain from removing their hair in their menses. However, if the facial hair looks conspicuous, then it will be permissible to remove it.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
