Is it permissible for a woman to separate her eyebrows if they meet?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. From the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Amman, a message was sent by one of the female listeners. She says: My complete request. My sister has three issues. In one of her issues, she says: I have a lot of hair, to the extent that the hair on my eyebrows connects to each other. So, is it permissible for me to separate them a little? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
If the eyebrow hair is deformed and goes beyond the norm, there is no harm in removing the deformity; there is no harm in removing the deformity. However, if the eyebrow hair is moderate and follows the usual pattern and has no deformity, it is not permissible to remove any of it, because that is plucking the eyebrows, for which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who does it.
