The Ruling on Plucking the Eyebrows

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this is a question that has become widespread and many people ask about it. The question is: What is the ruling on plucking the eyebrows?

Answer:
This question has been asked repeatedly, and we have answered it, stating that it is forbidden. A fatwa has been issued by the Permanent Committee prohibiting it, because it involves messing with the eyebrows and changing the creation of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). It leads to plucking the eyebrows, for which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who does it. So the Muslim woman should leave her eyebrows alone and not mess with them, whether by cutting, plucking, shaving, plucking the eyebrows, or any other form of tampering, as this is changing the creation of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
