Question:

I first thank you very much for this wonderful website. May Allah bless you and reward you for every thing you have done in this great website. I just have some question I hope you would help me answer them. - Is dreaming of the future a bad thing. Left me explain like I would set by my self and start imagining how my future Gonna be like how I would meet the person I will marry and things like that. And I always make them very romance ways. Is it ok if I do that or is Haram. - Is shaving harm in Islam. I will tell you that is secret when I was young like about 11 I heard these girl older ones talking about how they shave their legs and other places and they look so nice, so after that I started shaving almost all my body even my face because if made me look so white and every where but than I heard that shaving is harm so I stop after two years but the hair starts to grow and its growing and I don't look nice anymore and when I use hair removing it hurts and I cant use it every where in my body so what should I do since now I am I the step where girls get marry and I am so afraid. - Does a woman or a lady have to wear skirts under her Abayh or Bldu those things they came as one dress and they wear them when they go out. So is it ok to just wear a shirt and jeans or pants as long as she doesn't take it out.
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

We supplicate Allah to increase your love for goodness and for the respect of His Limits.

As for shaving hair, there is no harm in shaving any hair other than the eyebrows. Shaving eyebrows is strictly forbidden since the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) cursed those who shave them. However, if the hair of the eyebrows grows in an abnormal manner that deforms their normal position, then one may shave them only to remove the deformation.

For more benefit, please refer to Fataawa 81950, 81209, and 83663.

Allah knows best.
