Guidelines To Intimacy In Islam

Facial Hair

Some women may experience excessive growth of hair on their cheeks and other parts of the face. It is recommended for them to remove such facial hair, as this will prevent them from resembling men. Removing unwanted body hair is permitted through the various means available, such as waxing, using cream, powder and a razor. There also seems to be no Shari'ah impediment from permanently removing body hair, since the aim is to remove unwanted hair, whether temporarily or permanently.If she removes unwanted hair on her own, this is fine. But when she goes to someone to have it removed she must bear in mind that her ‘Awrah must not be exposed, even in front of Muslim women. A Muslim woman's nakedness (‘awra) in front of other Muslim women is from her navel up to and including her knees. 

As such, it is not permitted for a woman to expose the area in between the navel and knees for hair-removal, even before other Muslim women. A Muslim woman's ‘awra in front of non-Muslim women is the whole body with the exception of the face and hands. Therefore, she cannot expose other parts of her body before non-Muslim women. (Al-Hidaya 4:461 and Radd al-Mukhtar 6:371)

It is regrettable that some women do not see the importance of remaining clean and presentable at home in front of their husbands, yet when they attend public gatherings or visit friends they ensure that they clean and adorn themselves. Others make great efforts to beautify themselves before marriage, but once they find their soul mate and get married, they neglect to beautify themselves for their 

husbands.This is actually contrary to the teachings of Islam. A wife must first and foremost adorn herself for her husband, and is rewarded for doing so. To beautify oneself 

in order to attract the attention of non-Mahram men (non-family members) is absolutely unlawful and a great sin.
