The questioner : Is it permissible to pluck the hair on the eyebrow if it is connected to the nose and disfigures the face, especially if it is long and harmful? And I swear by the Great Allah that I do not imitate the disbelievers or the Jews in beautification, but it has disfigured my face. It is not all the eyebrow hair, but only the part connected to the nose that is disfiguring and harmful to me. Peace be upon you?
The Shaykh : As for removing this hair by plucking, this is forbidden and not permissible, because this is plucking the eyebrows, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who plucks her eyebrows and the one who has them plucked. As for removing it by means other than plucking, such as cutting or shaving, there is nothing wrong with that.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And some scholars hold that it is forbidden and that it is plucking the eyebrows, and what she should do is leave it alone, meaning she should not touch it with anything, unless it harms her such that some of this hair falls onto her eyes, irritating the eye or preventing her from seeing clearly. In that case, there is nothing wrong with her cutting what harms her.
