The Ruling on Dyeing Part of the Eyebrows

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Women dye part of their eyebrows so that the eyebrows appear thinner. Is there any deception in this, Shaykh, or is it a substitution of plucking with this dyeing of the eyebrows?

Answer:
This is tampering and changing the creation of Allah the Exalted. It is not permissible to tamper with the eyebrows, whether by dyeing, cutting, plucking, or shaving. Rather, they should be left in their natural state and form as Allah the Exalted created them. However, Satan incites these women to this tampering, as he has pledged to do. Satan says to the Lord of the Worlds: This is part of changing the creation of Allah, and it comes from Satan. So the Muslim woman should fear Allah and not tamper with her eyebrows, nor do the bleaching they call bleaching or adjusting, or anything else. Rather, she should leave them as they were, as Allah the Exalted created them. This has a parallel in men regarding beards. Some men have been afflicted by shaving their beards, cutting them, or tampering with them. This is from Satan and from changing the creation of Allah the Exalted. So he comes to men and incites them to tamper with their beards, and he comes to women and incites them to tamper with their eyebrows. All of this is from Satan. It is obligatory for the Muslim to fear Allah and to beware of Satan. Yes.
