Question:
Aslamualaikum Hajja may allah make us grow in real love for you!
I wanted to ask I want to get rid of excess facial/body hair. New home lasers have been invented which I’ve learned about now ranging from £100-400 they get rid of hair permanently over time.are they save/ok to use. Unwanted hair on women is a very upsetting problem particularly making you feel less feminine/confident. They are expensive but if safe then worth investing in.
2.What is your advice on eye lazer surgery? I have been wearing glasses since childhood I hate wearing them they are awkward. I’ve always felt aggitated on my nose and ears. I’d love to get rid of them. My husband asked shaykh about this for himself shaykh Nazim said he doesn’t like it. Now I want to know for myself if I could have it done.
jazakallah
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
1. Safe procedures to remove unwanted hair from the body is allowed. It is Sunnah to remove the pubic hair and hair under armpits. Hair in such areas is unwanted and to let them grow for more than 40 days is offensive. The laser hair removal surgery is to be done by the husband for his wife or by the woman herself in case her private parts have to be uncovered.
2. There is nothing wrong with performing eye laser surgery if it is done by an expert.
