Removal of armpit hair by means of depilatory creams
Question: 1811
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
Yes, this is permitted for removing armpit hair and pubic hair, because the point is to remove the hair. Any means of achieving the desired result is permitted, although the best way, which will receive the most reward, is to shave the pubic hair and pluck the armpit hair, as is reported in the Sunnah.
