Ruling on removing long hairs from the eyebrows of an elderly man

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If an elderly man has long hairs in his eyebrows compared to the rest of his eyebrow hair, is it permissible for him to remove these hairs?

Answer:
If the thing is harmful and he is bothered by it, he should cut them. But if they are merely long and not bothersome, he should leave them.
