No, waxing is not haram for your face.
Based on the provided reference, it is permissible for Muslim women to wax, pluck, or shave hair from any part of their body, including their face.
Permissibility of Hair Removal
The general principle is that removing hair from any part of the body, excluding the eyebrows, is allowed. This includes the face, arms, legs, and any other areas.
Here's a breakdown:
- Facial Hair: Removing hair from the face is permissible.
- Body Hair: Removing hair from any other parts of the body is also permissible.
- Eyebrows: The only exception is the eyebrows, which should not be plucked or waxed.
| Body Area | Hair Removal Permissible? |
|---|---|
| Face | Yes |
| Body (General) | Yes |
| Eyebrows | No |
Key Takeaway
- The core principle revolves around body modification practices. Islam discourages altering the natural appearance given by Allah, and that primarily applies to eyebrows.
- However, removing facial or body hair to maintain personal hygiene or appearance is acceptable.
Therefore, using wax for hair removal on your face is not considered haram.
