When is it permissible for a woman to remove her eyebrow hair?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The sister asking says: Shaykh, the thick hair on the eyebrows disfigures the girl's face. Is it permissible for this woman to remove it?

Answer:
If it is true and established that it is thicker than usual and she is harmed by it, then she removes only the harm. She removes the amount that harms her and does not remove it all, because this is forbidden, and this is the plucking of the eyebrows for which the one who does it is cursed. But she removes what harms her, to the extent of that harm, and refrains from the rest. Yes.
