The ruling on plucking the eyebrows for a man

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. What is the ruling on a man plucking his eyebrows?

Answer:
Likewise. Because it is disfiguring and altering the hair, and it disfigures the face. Allah made the eyebrows a beauty for the face and a benefit for the person, and in their shaving or plucking there is disfigurement of the face. However, the text was only revealed regarding women, for Allah cursed the women who pluck their eyebrows and those who have them plucked, because this practice is predominant among them. This is from the category of the predominant, because in the majority of cases it is the work of women who intend to beautify themselves with it, even though it is disfiguring, and not to avoid [something]. And if a foolish person does it, it is not permissible. Yes.
