Permanent hair removal
Question
Can a woman go for permanent body hair removal using laser theraphy? This process destroys the hair follicles. Is this allowed in Islam?
Answer
If this treatment does not entail exposing the satr areas to anyone and it does not have harmful side effects then it will be permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
