Question: If one cannot remove the hair from her arms, legs etc.
herself, is it permissible to take help of another sister friend or the girls which are meant for
such jobs in locality nowadays? Is it allowed to reveal our body that time
to that sister ? Answer: بِسْمِ
اللهِ
الرَّحْمنِ
الرَّحِيْم In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. In front of a Muslim woman, it is not permissible to
expose one's body from the navel to the knees. Nor is it permissible to get a
Muslim woman to touch that area. Hence, it will not be permissible to get a
Muslim woman to remove hair in that area of one's body. As for the other areas
of the body, such as the arms and the legs below the knees, it will be
permissible to get a Muslim woman to remove hair from there. In front of a non-Muslim woman, however, it is not
permissible to expose even one's hands and legs below the knees, let alone the
other parts of the body. Therefore, it will not be permissible to get a
non-Muslim woman to remove hair from any part of one's body. This is because if
it is not permissible to expose a certain part of one's body to someone, it is
not permissible to allow that person to touch it either. (Shaami: 9/612) And
Allah Ta'ala knows best. Mufti Faizal Riza Darul Ifta
