Question ID 1296 Tuesday 15th of April 2014

Question:

Salam My marja is Ayatullah Khameini. I would like to know whether it is permissible for a woman to remove the hair of another woman on the private areas. So chemicals can cause problems to sensitive pubic areas of a woman and so waxing which is usually made from sugar is least damaging to the skin. However it is important to remove hair in the right way as it can damage and tear the skin. In such a case would it be allowed for a professional beautician to remove hair of another woman. wsalam

Answer:

It is not allowed for woman to look at or touch the private part of other
woman unless there is a medical urgency.
Wassalam.

Question ID 1237 Saturday 22nd of March 2014

Question:

Is applying nail polish haram ?

Answer:

It is allowed to apply nail polish but it stops water from reaching to the
nail, hence it prevents Wudhu and Ghusl and it must be removed before
performing Wudhu or Ghusl.
Obviously, nail polish should not be shown to non Mahram.
Wassalam.

Question ID 1232 Thursday 20th of March 2014

Question:

A.O.A, I have a question regarding Hazrat Ali a.s saying in Nahjul Balaghah, Khutbah 78, in which it is stated that: "Aey logon! aurtein emaan me naqas, hisson me naqas aur aqal me naqas hoti hn. Naqas-e-emaan ka sabut ye he k daur me namaz aur roza inhen chorna parhta he. Aur naqas-e-aqal hone ka sabut ye he k do aurton ki gawahi ek mard ki gawahi k barabar hoti he. Aur hisa-o-nasb me kami yun he k meeras me inka hissa mardon se aadha hota he. Buri auraton se daro aur achhi aurton se bhi chaukanna raho. Tum unki achhi baatein bhi naa mano takey agey barh kar wo buri baaton k manwane par na utar aein." I am really confused about the contents this saying contains. If we take a look at it, one shall obviously regard a woman's status as quite degraded. Please help me clear the doubts asap. JazakAllah.

Answer:

I have discussed this question with Ayatullah Shaikh Eshaq Fayyaz who was
in London for medical reasons, and he clearly said that such narrations are
not authentic. Islam says that the dignity of male and female is equal as
human beings.
