Plucking the eyebrows for men and altering the creation of Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does plucking the eyebrows, which is shaving or thinning the hair of the eyebrows, fall under the prohibition for men, or is it specific to women?

Answer:
There is no doubt that this applies to men and Muslims; it is not permissible for men to alter the creation of Allah. This falls under altering the creation of Allah. Satan said, as mentioned by Allah:
and I will command them so they will change the creation of Allahوَلَآمُرَنَّهُمْ فَلَيُغَيِّرُنَّ خَلْقَ اللَّهِ
[An-Nisa 4:119]
