QUESTION:
Can women use razors to remove dirty hair i.e under their armpits?
ANSWER:
In his encyclopaedic work in the Hanafi Madhab, Bahare Shariat, Al-Imam Amjad Ali al-A’zhami (رحمة الله عليه) has mentioned concerning the removal of this hair:
“It is Sunnah to pluck the hair of the underarms and shaving it is allowed too.”
