Plucking the Eyebrows for Women

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for women to pluck their eyebrows?

Answer:
It is not permissible to tamper with the eyebrows. It is not permissible for a woman to tamper with her eyebrows in any way, whether by cutting, shaving, plucking, dyeing, or bleaching. She should leave them as Allah created them, for there is beauty in them and good in their creation. So she should not change the creation of Allah, for she would thereby fall under the curse. She falls under the curse because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed those who change the creation of Allah. Yes.
