Is it permissible to remove facial hair, other than the eyebrows, for the purpose of beautifying oneself for one's husband?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Is it permissible to remove facial hair, other than the eyebrows, for the purpose of beautifying oneself for one's husband?

Answer:
It is better not to remove facial hair unless it is disfiguring. If it disfigures the face, it is removed. However, if it is ordinary and does not cause disfigurement, it is better to leave it; because some scholars hold that this is part of the forbidden plucking of eyebrows.
