The Ruling on Dyeing and Plucking the Eyebrows

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a questioner, the letter F, residing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. She has a set of questions and says: I ask the Honorable Shaykh to answer them. She asks about dyeing the eyebrows and about declaring her a disbeliever. Does this fall under the hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in which he cursed the one who plucks her eyebrows, the one who has them plucked, the one who widens her teeth, and the one who has them widened?

Answer:
Cursing means being driven away and kept distant from the mercy of Allah, and it is not issued except for the commission of a major sin among the major sins. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who plucks her eyebrows, who is the one who removes the hair from her eyebrows, and the one who has them plucked, who is the one who asks for that to be done to herself. The one who plucks her eyebrows is the one who asks for it to be done by someone else, and this is a major sin among the major sins. Therefore, it is not permissible to remove the eyebrows by any method, whether by cutting, plucking, shaving, or using a remover that eliminates the hair. As for dyeing the eyebrows and shaping them, this falls under changing the creation of Allah the Exalted and Majestic. It falls under changing the creation of Allah. Allah created the eyebrows and made their hair black, so there is no need to dye them, because their natural state is more beautiful than the changes made to them. And Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, informed about Satan that he says, “And I will command them, so they will not change the creation of Allah.” This is by plucking the eyebrows, tattooing, and widening the teeth. All of this is changing the creation of Allah, and among it is dyeing the eyebrows. What is the reason for dyeing them?
She is beautiful and does not need dyeing. As for the ones who widen their teeth, who create gaps between the teeth, because they file the space between the teeth with a file so that there are openings between them, seeking beauty, these are the ones who widen their teeth. This action is not permissible. The ones who widen their teeth for beauty. However, if she needs dental treatment, and this is not in the category of seeking beauty, but rather for treatment, and a doctor sees that he treats this tooth and removes what is in it of excess that disfigures the mouth, then there is no harm in that, because this is in the category of treatment. Yes.
