I want to ask you whether there is a Hukm for women not to remove their hair from their bodies in Quran? And if yes, then what should a woman do in this modern world where people make fun of them if there are hair on face and also when people come to see RISHTA for their boys, the first thing they see is how the girl looks like and then what her qualifications are.Please elaborate.

Thank you,

Mohtarima Hira Tabassam

Assalaam-o-Alaikum

Women are not allowed to have head hair cut. Yet eyebrows, if are thicker and wider, can be dressed a little but not narrowed too much. The removal of the hair of face is MUSTAHAB. The hair on any other part of body is fully at the discretion of a woman.

Allah knows the best.
