The answer

Food must be respected and not used in ways considered naturally or legally repugnant. Using it for hair removal may fall under disdaining it. Some early scholars permitted the use of certain foods after hair removal with nawra (a depilatory paste) to avoid harm, such as using handhal fat, henna, safflower, and rice flour with rosewater. Nevertheless, it is preferable to avoid this and to use other hair removal methods after ensuring they are free from harmful substances.
