Question:
Assalamualaikum Mawlana Shaykh Hisham, Hajjah Nazihe and all eshaykh staff.
Hajjah, I was born with healthy thick hair,and since 6,7 years they have become lifeless,dull and very thin. What is best to make them dark and thick again? Also, iv got a lot of hair all over me and even my face. I get very insecure over that. Is there anything i can do to reduce it?
Please pray for me that I’m able to achieve both these things.JazakAllah
Answer:
Alaykum as-Salam,
In mawlana Shaykh Nazim’s book Natural Medicine it says: “When washing your hair don’t use other shampoos, only olive-oil soap or laurel soap. After wash rub scalp with olive-oil. For women: when in public try to cover head to avoid evil-eye.” As for reducing body hair it is permissible to shave it, and women may shave facial hair as well.
