Can women use hair removal cream?

Question

I heard from one of my relatives that...Armpit and pubic hair of females are to be shaved only... and it is forbidden to use hair removing creams to remove them. Is it true? 

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is permissible for females to use hair removing cream to remove underarm and pubic hair.[1][2]

However, death on iman is in Allah’s hands and therefore constantly make duaa for death on iman.
