Waxing, along with other methods of hair removal like shaving and trimming, is generally considered permissible (halal) in Islam.
Islamic teachings emphasize cleanliness and hygiene. Removing unwanted body hair often falls under this category. The permissibility stems from the fact that there are no specific prohibitions against waxing mentioned in the Quran or authentic Sunnah (teachings and practices of Prophet Muhammad).
The primary focus is on modesty and avoiding imitation of the opposite gender. As long as waxing is performed with these principles in mind, it is generally considered acceptable.
Therefore, waxing is permissible as a hygienic practice in Islam.
