Question

My wife wants to start a business doing laser hair removal. My question is that if she does it, she will be seeing ladies parts thats supposed to be covered like the legs, is it okay or not? If not then what if she employs someone to do that job?

Answer

This occupation entails many shameful and forbidden works. Therefore, we do not encourage any Muslim to take up this type of profession. For further details refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/16761

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
