Muslim Girls Shaving Their Legs Fatwa No: 84018
- Fatwa Date:21-4-2002
I would like to know if Muslim girls are allowed to shave their legs.
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.
There is no evidence in the Sharee'ah that prohibits or commands shaving/removing the hair of a woman's/man's leg. Such a matter comes under the ruling that applies to the matters about which the Lawmaker (i.e. Allah) has kept silent. Thus, a person has the choice either to do or not to do.
Allah knows best.
