The Ruling on Plucking the Eyebrows

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. She has another question, asking: Is it permissible to cut the eyebrows if they are long?

The Shaykh:
It is not permissible to alter the eyebrows, whether by cutting, plucking, or any other means; rather, they should be left as they are. This removal of the eyebrows is called *namus*. It is called *namus*. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who plucks her eyebrows and the one who has them plucked. Yes.

The questioner:
Does this apply to men as well?

The Shaykh:
Yes, it applies to men.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
