What is the linguistic meaning of nams, and is it limited to plucking eyebrow hair only, or does it encompass more?

The questioner : Many of the brothers, when we convey this issue to them, say: In the books of language, it is stated that nams is the removal of eyebrow hair. So what is the evidence for prohibiting the removal of a man’s hair?

The Shaykh : Who said in the language that nams is only the removal of eyebrow hair? Give us a book from the books of language.

The questioner : They mentioned regarding ...

The Shaykh : I researched this issue in the books. Some mention plucking the eyebrows, and some mention plucking the cheeks. So I said this is not by way of restriction, but by way of example. Nams is like nutf in weight, both in word and meaning. Nams never differs from nutf in language, either in word or meaning.
Abu Layla : Is this regarding the removal of hair from the faces of women?

The Shaykh : It is not permissible.
Abu Layla : Does this mean changing the creation of Allah?

The Shaykh : Yes, it is all changing the creation of Allah. Not just the eyebrows or the cheeks. There is no restriction in the language regarding the face, my brother. Then there is the well-known reasoning in the hadith .

The questioner : So if the cause is changing the creation of Allah, does it apply if it is a man or a woman, on the face or the hands?

The Shaykh : Wherever it is.
