Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a woman to pluck or shape her eyebrows?
Answer:
No. Cursed is the one who does this, whether she plucks, shaves, or removes any of her eyebrows. She is cursed. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Cursed are the women who pluck their eyebrows and the women who have it done.” The one who plucks is the one who removes the hair from her eyebrows, and the one who plucks is the one who performs the plucking on another. As for the one who has it done, she is the one who asks someone to do this to her. All of this is not permissible. Neither the act nor the one who undergoes it is permissible. Both are cursed. Both are cursed: the one who plucks and the one who does this and makes it her occupation. I mean, some women work at this and take pride in it. This is forbidden, and the one who does it is cursed.
