Question:
What is the ruling on plucking the eyebrows for women?

Answer:
The eyebrows are to be left as they are, just as the beard for a man is to be left as it is. Since the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade plucking the eyebrows and messing with them, and forbade shaving the beards, Satan has taken hold of men in shaving their beards and messing with them, and he has taken hold of women in messing with their eyebrows and altering them.
All of this is from Satan. It is obligatory for the Muslim to fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and to obey the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in what he has commanded and to leave what he has forbidden, both men and women. Bleaching is messing with the eyebrows. It is changing their color to something other than the natural color. What is the reason for this? This is changing the creation of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) without any benefit.
Rather, there is harm in it. It disfigures the face. So the woman who dyes her eyebrows, you find her disfigured.
Whereas the woman who leaves her eyebrows as they were created, you find her beautiful, because she finds acceptance, unlike the one who messes with them, for you find her disfigured, and I seek refuge in Allah, like the one who messes with his beard; you find him disfigured and ugly to look at. If he had left it as it is, he would have been beautiful and acceptable to look at. Yes.
