I am trying to find out if shaving or waxing your legs for a woman is allowed or not?

Wasalams

Jazakullah Khair

As salaamu Alaikoum,

Praise be to Allah.

Shaving or waxing or plucking the hair from your legs or arms are allowed in Islam.

Women are only prohibited from removing the hair of their eyebrows.

The Prophet(saw) said, "Allah curses the woman who removes the hair from her eyebrows." [Bukhari and Muslim]

If it were not desired for women to remove the hair on their bodies elsewhere, the Prophet(saw) would have mentioned it.

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
