The ruling on removing facial hair and eyebrows for a woman

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. Our sister A'lam says: What is the ruling on removing some of the facial hair for a woman, without removing anything from the eyebrows?

Answer:
As for the eyebrows, removing from them is a major sin among the major sins, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) [mentioned] the plucker and the one who has her eyebrows plucked. The plucker is the one who removes her eyebrows or some of them, by whatever means. As for removing facial hair, if it is disfiguring and needs to be removed, there is no harm. But if it is ordinary, it is better to avoid it, because some scholars hold that it is a form of altering creation.
