Question:
A questioner says: Is shaving the hair between the eyebrows permissible?
Answer:
It is not permissible, because this is a means to tampering with the eyebrows. Generally, the hair between the eyebrows, if there is any, is minimal. If this door were opened, women would play with their eyebrows, saying, "This is between the eyebrows," not what is proper. This closes the door. Yes, because, glory be to Allah, the heaviest thing for women is the eyebrows, just as the beard is heavy for some men. Allah made it heavy for some men because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade plucking the eyebrows and forbade shaving the beards. Satan beautifies plucking the eyebrows for women and shaving the beards for men. In fact, the beard has become heavy for some men, and the eyebrows have become heavy for many women.
This is from Satan’s deception and incitement to lead people to disobey the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and to change the creation of Allah. For He promised, saying, "And I will surely command them to change the creation of Allah."
