Answer:
Removal of women hair
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person, no
grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Your
Statement: In a book written by
Allah has cursed
those women who practice tattooing and those who get themselves tattooed, and
those who remove their eye-brow hairs, and those who create a space
between their teeth artificially to look beautiful, and such women as change
the features created by Allah. Why then
should I not curse those whom the Prophet (saws) has cursed?
In
light of the above absolutely clear guidance of the Messenger of Allah (saws),
it is the unanimous opinion of all the scholars and jurists in Islam that the
plucking or shaping of eyebrows is strictly forbidden for the believing woman
in Islam.
Other than the shaping of the eye-brow hair, there is
absolutely no prohibition in Islam if a believing woman wishes to remove any
other facial hair.

Beloved Sister in Islam, except for the shaping of the
eye-brow hairs of the believing woman, the scholars and jurists in Islam are
almost unanimous in their opinion that there is absolutely no restriction or
prohibition in Islam on the woman if she wishes to remove the unwanted hair
from any other part of her body like face, legs, arms, etc.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
