  1. Question:

May a woman shave body hair on Rosh Chodesh?

 

Answer:

Yes.

The reason: The issue with removing hair on Rosh Chodesh is due to the Tzavah of Rav Yehuda Hachassid and he specifically writes only against shaving the head or beard on Rosh Chodesh. Accordingly, shaving other body hair is permitted without restraint.
