Re: Shaving legs isn’t haram!
minah I do a thing called sugaring, and I’ve been doing it all my life. The hair grows back very slowly and thin everytime. After a while it does not hurt. I wax everywhere if you get my drift 
Re: Shaving legs isn’t haram!
rope burn ohhhhh la la la
minah if a woman has facial hair she has the right to get rid of it, but I don’t know why you would want to “shave” it off, wax or thread would be best.
Re: Shaving legs isn’t haram!
I heard that a man and woman can colour their hair the same colour if they have white hairs. However, if you are an elder you should colour your hair a different colour and stay away from black. And henna is not haram.
I’ve heard that plucking your eyebrows is haram, and in the Quran it says :curse those who pluck their eyebrows and those who do it for them
Re: Shaving legs isn’t haram!
removing facial hair is not forbidden!
A Few Strands: Some Useful Fiqh of Hair
Answered by Sayyidi Shaykh Ilyas Patel of Keighley
A few strands: some useful fiqh of hair
In the Name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,
It is permissible for a woman to pluck the hair of the beard and moustache that has grown. In fact, it is recommended (mustahab) in order that it not displease her husband. (Bahari Shariat Pg 638 Part 16 Chapter on Looking and Touching)
- It is sunnah to remove the hair from below the navel. It is recommended to bathe every week and to clean the body and remove the hair below the navel. The best day is on Friday. It is also permissible to delay removing the hair on the 15th day, and to delay it after 40 days is offensive and forbidden [f: being prohibitively disliked (makruh tahriman)] .
- The hair below the navel should be removed with a blade and one should start from below the navel. It is also permissible to use any hair-removing cream. It is sunnah for women to remove them (below the navel-hair) hair (also). (Durr u’l Mukhtar, Fatawa Hindiya)
- It is permissible to pluck the armpit hair and shave it also. (Radd u’l-Muhtar)
- It is better not to remove the hair from below the neck. (Radd u’l-Muhtar)
- One should not remove the hair in the nose, as harm is feared from it. (Fatawa Hindiya )
- It is offensive to remove hair and clip nails during a state of major ritual impurity (janaba ) . (Fatawa Hindiya) (Bahari Shariat Pg 704,705 Part 16 Chapter on Combing Hair and Clipping Nails)
Applying oil to the hair, to comb it and to make a middle path
When a person keeps long hair according to sunna, then he should keep in mind all the other sunnas regarding the keeping the hair:
The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) used to apply a lot of oil to his head, and he used to comb his beard. He also used a head cloth. It used to get soiled with oil, hence the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) clothes used to become oily. The narration of Sharh us-Sunna is that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) used to say that whoever has hair should look after it. (Abu Dawud pg 573)
When a person combs their hair they should first make the path of the right side then the left. Aisha (Allah be pleased with her) reports that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give peace) preferred this way. ( Imam Tirmihi’s Shama’il pg 4)
Women’s Hair
Imam Muslim, Imam Tirmidhi and others have narrated the hadith of Umm Salama (Allah be pleased with her) that she asked the Prophet (Allah bless him and give peace), "I make the plaits of my hair tight. Should I loosen it at the time of a bath of impurity (janaba)? " The Prophet (Allah bless him and give peace) replied , "No, it is sufficient that you pour over your head three times and then pour water over your body.”( al-Tirmidhi) This hadith indicates that it is sufficient that water reaches the roots of the hair. It is not necessary to loosen plaits and wet all the hair. This ruling is confirmed by the scholars of fiqh.
Women cutting the hair
The hadith in Muslim in which it is stated that the blessed wives of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give peace) used to cut their hair, the commentators of Muslim explain that it is applied to women who are old and widowed and does not beautify herself. Imam Nawawi states that this action cannot be imagined as haven been during the lifetime of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give peace).
- It is permissible for an old woman and a young girl who cannot look after her hair, to cut it short a little, in order to look after it.
Cutting the hair of the eyebrows and Face
And there is no objection to take the hair of eyebrows and face so long as it is not effeminate. (Radd u’l-Muhtar pg 358/5 Fatawa Hindiya pg 23/4)
Shaving the Head
It is stated in Mawaahib u’l Laduniya and *Majma’ ul * B**ihar:
When the hair of the Prophet (Allah Bless him and give him peace) was not cut for a long period it used to be long, and when it used to be cut it would be short.”
- The above indicates that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) used to cut his hair and not shave it. However, regarding shaving it, he himself states that besides Hajj and Umrah, he never shaved his head. Madarij u’l Nubuwwa,Uswa’i Rasuli Akram pg 152)
Prohibition of Qaz’a (cutting a portion of hair and leave the rest)
- This is prohibited. Its prohibition is proven from an authentic Hadith:
Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with him) states that a child was brought to the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) whose hair was partly cut and the rest uncut. The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said: Either cut it completely or leave it completely. (Mishkat pg 380)
(Taken from ‘The Laws of the Beard and the Hair in the Light of the Ahadith’ By Shaykul Hadith Moulana Fazlur Rahman, Darul Uloom Azaadvile)
Ruling of women having Hinnã on their hands
It is reported by Aisha (Allah be pleased with her) that a woman was forwarding a letter behind the veil and the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) took back his hand. He said, "How do we know if it is man’s hand or a woman’s. Aisha replied, it is a woman’s hand. The Prophet replied, (Allah bless him and give him peace) if she was a woman she would have had applied henna on her hands.
(Abu Dawud, Taysir ul-Wusul 137:2) (Beard and the Sunnas of the Prophets, Mufti Saeed Palanpuri)
And Allah Knows Best

Re: Shaving legs isn't haram!
majestic, you said you do sugaring. is it the sugar "wax"?
Re: Shaving legs isn't haram!
Majestic - it was a sugar wax, same thing, I think that was what I used. I used it for the first time last year at the age of 39... ok, I am DEFINITELY not used to it, so will not do it again. I will stick to the daily shaving routine, thank you :)
Re: Shaving legs isn’t haram!
yeah
also there is another type you can find at Middle Eastern stores, that dont need strips or anything.
Re: Shaving legs isn’t haram!
lol I guess everyone is different. As for me I perfer to sugar b/c I can go a whole month without touching my legs and other parts and it still doesnt grow back. Now that I like.
Re: Shaving legs isn’t haram!
I bought this brazilian wax kit. it desnt have to be burning hot like wax to apply and u dont need strips. however it dries VERY quickly, so the second u apply it u gotta rip it off, and if it gets stuck, oh god. that happened…i still remember the pain 
. id do the home wax thing, but how r u able to reach certain spots??? :confsued:
Re: Shaving legs isn’t haram!
loved it
Re: Shaving legs isn't haram!
So is a woman who beautifies herself solely for own self and not for her husband, committing any sin?
Re: Shaving legs isn't haram!
As far as I know, the only thing you cannot do is pluck your eyebrows. I think the reason for that is vanity.
Otherwise, shave / wax / epilate away. Luckily, I don't have to do much with my face because there is not a lot of hair, so I only need to thread once a month or max twice a month, and just epilate other body areas.
Re: Shaving legs isn’t haram!
for others NO, for you, YES!!
now die already 
Re: Shaving legs isn't haram!
last time i got my legs done from this parlour and this idiiiiot burned my skin with hot wax. i still have a little spot on my thigh sniff
Re: Shaving legs isn’t haram!
Yes that’s what I heard, I also heard if she has a uni-brow she can get rid of the bit in the middle just above the nose as those hairs are not considered part of the eyebrows, Allah knows best.
To me a woman who has plucked/shaped eyebrows is just as scary as a woman with a full fledge beard, it makes the area above the eyes look constantly swollen and it seems takes the noor and maasoomiyyat off the girls face and gives her that na-paakeezah sluttish look.
Re: Shaving legs isn’t haram!
So it seems like most of you know it’s okay to shave/wax your legs. Good! I don’t understand why it’s haram to remove facial hair. I just think it makes you look cleaner --not beautiful.
