The Ruling on Plucking Eyebrows for Women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister questioner who used the name Umm Samir says: There is a lot of talk in our time, in these days, about plucking eyebrows and decorating them for women, and among women. We want a decisive fatwa on this matter, as many hadiths have circulated about it. May Allah reward Shaykh Salih. In them, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
Answer:
mentioned the curse upon the one who plucks her eyebrows and the one who has it done. The one who plucks is the one who removes the hair from her eyebrows, and the one who has it done is the one who asks another to do it. This is because it is part of changing the creation of Allah, which Iblis vowed to command the children of Adam to do. He said, "And I will surely command them to change the creation of Allah." This includes tattooing, plucking eyebrows, and other changes to the creation of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). This is forbidden, and it is not permissible to mess with the eyebrows, whether by cutting, wiping, shaving, dyeing, waxing, or otherwise. Rather, they should be left in their natural state, because Allah created them beautiful and placed them in their appropriate position. Therefore, it is not permissible to mess with them. But Satan is eager to mislead the children of Adam; he incites men to grow beards and incites women to pluck their eyebrows. All of this is part of changing the creation of Allah, which Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has forbidden. Yes.
