Plucking the Eyebrows and the Evidence for Cursing the One Who Does It

The questioner:
After this, a message on the program from one of the female listeners. The questioner, S.S. from Riyadh, says: Our sister asks about the plucking of the eyebrows, which is cursed, and what is the evidence for that? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
Plucking the eyebrows is removing the hair of the eyebrows, whether by threading, shaving, or using hair-removing substances. All of this is part of the cursed plucking. The evidence for this is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The one who plucks is the one who removes the hair of her eyebrows, and the one who requests it is the one who asks another to do it for her, to remove the hair of her eyebrows.
This is part of altering the creation of Allah, which Satan vowed to lead the children of Adam to. He said, "And I will surely command them, and they will alter the creation of Allah." Removing the eyebrow hair is thus altering the creation of Allah. The one who does it is cursed, according to the tongue of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and it is one of the major sins. Regrettably, this has become widespread.
Among Muslim women, especially those who seek to expose their faces, who see ugliness and disfigurement in their faces, they remove this beauty that Allah created for them. Then, surprisingly, they put something of green dye in its place. Which is more beautiful, I ask you: this hair that Allah created in its proper place, or this disfiguring dye that she puts on her eyebrow? But Satan, may Allah curse him, wants to mislead the children of Adam.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you well.

The Shaykh:
Shaykh, in conclusion, I direct to you my sincere thanks, after thanking Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), for your generosity in answering the brother listeners. I hope that the meeting will be renewed and that you are in good health. Dear listeners, our meeting in this episode was with His Eminence the Shaykh, Salih ibn Fawzan al-Fawzan, member of the Committee for the Refutation of Innovations, and member of the Council of Senior Scholars. Thank you, Shaykh Salih. And you, dear listeners, thank you.
