✅ Permissibility Based on Islamic Principles
Removing unwanted body hair (such as underarms, arms, legs, etc.) is considered part of personal hygiene (ṭahārah) and is encouraged in Islam.
Laser hair removal is a modern method and is permissible as long as it does not cause harm and is done for cleanliness, comfort, or beauty in a halal way.
⚠️ Key Conditions to Consider
Preserving Modesty (ʿAwrah):
The treatment should be done by a female practitioner, especially if it involves private areas.
Exposure of private parts is not allowed unless medically necessary or within strict conditions (like to another female for medical or health-related reasons).
Intention Matters (Niyyah):
If the purpose is cleanliness, marriage, comfort, or personal grooming, it is acceptable.
If the intent is to imitate non-Islamic or immoral trends, scholars may view it with disapproval.
Safety of the Procedure:
It should be safe and not harmful to the body, as harming oneself is discouraged in Islam.
? Scholarly Opinions
Most contemporary Islamic scholars and fatwa councils (including those from Al-Azhar and Dar al-Ifta) allow laser hair removal under the above guidelines. There is no evidence that laser hair removal itself is haram unless it violates modesty or causes harm.
Summary:
Yes, laser hair removal in Riyadh is permissible for girls in Islam, provided it is done by a female practitioner, respects the boundaries of modesty, does not cause harm, and is for hygienic or lawful beautification purposes.
