Question

Are all these ways (hot wax, cold wax, razer machines, creams) to remove body hairs (legs, hands, face, underarms) permissible for a woman as there is a great misconception among people. Please do elaborate it in detail.

Answer

As long as they do not have any harmful effects it is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
