The ruling on applying kohl to the eyebrows and changing their color

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is it permissible to apply kohl to the eyebrows for adornment?

The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with the kohl on them. What is prohibited is plucking the eyebrows, and there is nothing wrong with the place where the kohl is applied. Yes.

The questioner:
It blackens the hair. I mean it blackens the eyebrow hair.

The Shaykh:
If it is gray, no. If it is not gray, there is no contradiction. Yes.

The questioner:
But if the hair is blond and she wants to change it to...

The Shaykh:
If it is something that is not permissible, but as for anything other than gray hair, there is no harm. Yes. No, the eyebrows do not conflict for either the man or the woman. Yes.

The questioner:
Finally, Your Eminence the Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
If it has blackness, there is no harm. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited changing gray hair to black. Yes.
