The Ruling on Drawing Eyebrows with a Pencil
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: We know that plucking the eyebrows is not permissible, and that this includes plucking them or thinning them out, as well as bleaching the eyebrows. We ask about the ruling on drawing the eyebrows with what is called a pencil; it is drawn like kohl and does not remain, for when water passes over it, it goes away. What is the ruling on using it in this state?
Answer:
It is not permissible to tamper with the eyebrows. The eyebrows are to be left as Allah created them, for they are beautiful and suitable for the face. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, created them to be suitable for the face and balanced. Therefore, it is not permissible to intervene in them by dyeing, plucking, shaving, cutting, or otherwise. Rather, they are to be left as Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, created them. If one intervenes in them, this constitutes changing the creation of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. This varies in severity, with the most severe being plucking, and similar to it is all other tampering with the eyebrows.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
