The Ruling on Plucking Eyebrows and Dyeing Head Hair

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. From the questions of the questioner, Umm 'Abd al-'Aziz, she says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on plucking the eyebrows while maintaining that no hair from the eyebrow is removed? Does this fall under the curse? And what is the ruling on dyeing the hair black? This is not to cover gray hair, as I am a young girl, eighteen years old, but for adornment and to hide an old dye. May Allah reward you for plucking the eyebrows.

Answer:
It is not permissible, because it is a form of tampering. The eyebrows are left as they are, and their color is a beautiful color; their color is a beautiful color, which Allah created as a beautiful color. Likewise, the hair of the head, if there is nothing wrong with it, is not changed with dyes, but it remains its natural color, which is more beautiful and better. This is a form of tampering for which Allah has not sent down any authority. Or, some women intend by this to turn their hair into something resembling the hair of disbelieving and sinful women by dyeing it a color similar to the dye of the women of the West, whom they see or whose pictures they see on television, so they want to imitate them and resemble them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
God’s messenger as saying, “He who copies any people is one of them.”صلى الله عليه وسلم من تشبه بقوم فهو منهم.
