Ruling on removing excess hair from the eyebrows

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. As our sister Hanaa from al-Qassim asks, is it permissible for a woman to remove the excess from the eyebrows, or is it not?

The Shaykh:
We do not know what is meant by the excess over the eyebrows. If there is excess outside the eyebrows that disfigures the face, there is no harm in removing it, because it is not part of the eyebrows.

The presenter:
Good, good.

The Shaykh:
The discussion is only about the hair of the eyebrows. However, if what is meant by the excess is what some women do by resorting to tricks to remove the eyebrows, or to remove some of them, then this is forbidden and not permissible.
