Plucking the hair of the cheeks and the ruling on plucking the eyebrows

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is plucking the hair of the cheeks considered plucking the eyebrows, like the hair of the eyebrows?

Answer:
Some scholars hold that all facial hair is included in the text, and all facial hair, along with the mustache for a man, is included in the text. If it is from the sideburns, it is from the lenient category; it is forbidden, and nothing from the sideburns is permissible, because it is not from the lenient category, nor from the eyebrows, because this is a text. As for the hair of the rest of the face, they also say this is from the text, unless this facial hair is disfiguring, exceeding the norm, and is disfiguring on the basis that it causes deviation.
