Fatwa #1067816 January 2004United States of America

I have recently been told that women must remove all body hair, with particular attention to arms and legs. Please let me know if it is in Hadith or Quran, & where exactly I can find it.

Answer

It is not necessary for females to remove all body hair. She may do so if she wish to.

Obviously, the unwanted hair under the arms and below the navel has to be removed.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
