Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Nawal Abdullah sent this fax a little while ago regarding plucking the eyebrows for a woman, and how to combine and shorten prayers while traveling.
Answer:
Plucking the eyebrows has been the subject of a fatwa from the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta declaring it forbidden. Therefore, it is not permissible for a woman to tamper with her eyebrows; rather, she should leave them as Allah the Mighty and Majestic created them and not touch them. As for combining and shortening prayers while traveling, these are a dispensation for the traveler if his journey is eighty kilometers or more. In that case, he may combine and shorten the prayers on the way, both going and returning. Yes.
