Ruling on Thinning the Eyebrows with Certain Dyes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence, there are certain dyes and colors applied to the eyebrows to make them appear thin, and these last for about a month. Is this considered plucking?
No,Meaning: Dyeing white hair with a color other than black is permissible; this is the original ruling. The original ruling for matters other than acts of worship is permissibility, and this is not plucking; rather, it is thinning the hair.
Similarly, some people choose to have curly hair and apply substances that strengthen the hair.
The questioner: The eyebrows, O Shaykh, are thinned by applying certain colors to them so they appear thin, without cutting the eyebrow hair.But she applies it to them and dyes the skin! The Shaykh: There is no harm in it.But the issue is: Is this permissible for men? A man should not adorn himself in the way women adorn themselves, but for a woman, there is no harm.
