The ruling on shortening a long, harmful eyebrow
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Yes, the side of the exit, yes.
The questioner:
Some elderly people’s eyebrows fall out and become long. Should they be shortened because they bother their eyes?
The Shaykh:
The apparent meaning of the hadith is general. He will not pluck them, but he will shorten them. Yes, shortening them is plucking; plucking them and shortening them are all opposite meanings. The story is gone. Yes. Yes. Allah knows best, yes. The apparent meaning of the hadith is general, and when people are given a gate, they make it into doors. We ask Allah for safety.
