The ruling on dyeing the eyebrows and thickening them with kohl

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner, Alif 'Ayn 'Ayn, sent a set of questions, saying: I hope you will answer them. Her first question says: What is the ruling on dyeing the eyebrows and thickening them with kohl? Please inform us of that?

Answer:
It is not permissible to tamper with the eyebrows. It is obligatory for a woman to leave her eyebrows alone and not tamper with them, whether by dyeing, bleaching, cutting, plucking, shaving, or anything else. This is something the devil has made attractive to many women, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
May Allah curse the one who plucks her eyebrows and the one who has them plucked, and the one who changes the creation of Allah,لعن الله النامصة والمتنمصة المغيرات لخلق الله،
Indeed, the devil has incited them to disobey the command of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) by tampering with their eyebrows, just as he has incited some men, or many men, to shave their beards. This is because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade shaving the beards and commanded them to grow them, let them hang down, and leave them long. The devil strives to promote matters that contradict the guidance of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and makes them attractive to people. We ask Allah for well-being and safety. Yes.
