The ruling on plucking the hair between the eyebrows

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. A message from the Holy City of Madinah, sent by a listener who indicated his name with the letter Nun. He says: Is it permissible or not to remove the hair between the eyebrows for the sake of adornment?

The Shaykh:
Plucking some of the eyebrows is this is the forbidden plucking of the eyebrows, and it is a major sin among the major sins, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who plucks her eyebrows and the one who has it done. The one who plucks her eyebrows is the one who removes the hair from her own eyebrows, and the one who has it done is the one who asks another to remove the hair from her eyebrows. In any case, one must be cautious of this and avoid this action. As for what is between the eyebrows, it is generally the case that there is no hair there, and if there is light hair, it does not affect or harm. Preserving the hair of the eyebrows by avoiding plucking from them and from what is between them, this is what is obligatory for the woman. Yes.

The questioner:
The questioner is a man, may Allah keep you safe.

The Shaykh:
Yes, even for a man it is not permissible. All right.
