Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: It is mentioned in a hadith that Allah cursed the one who plucks her eyebrows. Does bleaching the eyebrows, which involves changing their color to the color of the skin or some of the facial hair, fall under Allah’s curse?
Answer:
Yes, this is a type of altering Allah’s creation. The Muslim woman leaves her eyebrow hair as Allah created it; she does not interfere with it, neither by cutting, plucking, nor dyeing, but leaves it in its natural state. It is beauty that Allah created beautiful, so she does not alter it or interfere with it.
