The ruling on plucking the eyebrows for a man
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on plucking the eyebrows for a man? And does the hadith about the one who plucks include men as well? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Because it is disfiguring and likening, likening the hair and disfiguring the face. The eyebrows are an adornment for the face and a benefit for a person. In shaving them or plucking them, it is a disfigurement of the face. However, the text was revealed regarding women: “May Allah curse the women who pluck and those who get their faces thinned out,” because this practice is predominant among them. This is from the category of the predominant, because in the majority of cases, it is the work of women who intend to beautify themselves with it, even though it is disfigurement and not beautification. And if a man does it, it is not permissible except in this case.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you well.
