Ruling on plucking excess hair around a woman's eyebrows
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is plucking or shaving the excess hair around a woman's eyebrows included in the prohibition?
It is not permissible to pluck the eyebrows unless they are deformed;Because we have three cases: If they are beautiful due to their fineness and the fact that they are not connected to each other, no one asks about that.
Or they are deformed to a great extent, meaning: If she takes something from the forehead, and everyone who sees it is disgusted by it, then there is no harm in removing what causes the deformity, but not by plucking; rather, by using removers—oils that are applied—or by cutting. This is permissible. The first case is not something people ask about. Or, if there is no deformity but they have not reached the level of beauty, then it is not permissible to alter them.
The questioner: If the deformity is visible from up close but not from a distance?The Shaykh: As long as there is no deformity, it is not altered.
The questioner: The issue hinges on deformity. If there is no deformity, does it remain as it is?The Shaykh: Yes.
