What is the meaning of the hadith (May Allah curse the women who pluck their eyebrows)?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : But where is the point? Allah has forbidden them a type of adornment. Why? They are the ones who are the object of adornment, so He permitted them what I mentioned earlier. Allah has forbidden them a type of adornment because that adornment, which some women might engage in, involves altering the creation of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). If this alteration were to occur among men, who our Lord (Mighty and Majestic) has not permitted the same adornment as He has permitted for women, would it not be forbidden for them a fortiori? The answer is yes. What is it that Allah has forbidden to the people of adornment, who are women? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: , the doer and the one acted upon . Why? The answer is . Now, you see women refining their skills every day in the fashion of altering the creation of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). In the past, when we were in Syria, I do not know if this fashion has been abolished and replaced by another fashion here, at least. Some women there were afflicted; among those obsessed with Western fashions, one of them would shave her eyebrows completely, then dye them according to her deviated intellect, sometimes as a thin line like a crescent, sometimes a bit thicker according to the thickness of her intellect, and so on. I do not know if this exists today or not, but...
The questioner: He is present.
The Shaykh : ...it exists. What I know is the thinning of the eyebrows—(laughs)—what I know is that some women, for example, have an eyebrow that does not please her because it is thick, so she raises it, thins it, and makes it, as we said, like a crescent. Or she has two eyebrows that are joined, connected to each other, and that does not please her either, so she plucks or shaves what is between her eyebrows. This is forbidden by the text of the previous hadith to the end of the hadith. If a questioner were asked why, the answer is at the end of the hadith: . Oh, Glory be to Allah! If a woman shaves or plucks what is between her eyebrows, and she is a place of adornment as we said, and yet she deserves the curse from Allah, I say now something that mentions those who grow beards, and not just those who shave them, because those who shave have had their share of the discussion. What remains for us to mention is whom? Those who grow beards. If a woman takes what is between her eyebrows, she is cursed by the text of the authentic hadith because she alters the creation of Allah. So what is the ruling for the bearded man who shaves his cheeks, or plucks his cheeks? His ruling is her ruling, and there is absolutely no difference. Rather, this is a fortiori from the mercy of Allah, as previously explained, that that woman, who is a place of adornment, merely by taking a little from above or below or between the eyebrows, has altered the creation of Allah.
May Allah curse the women who pluck their eyebrows and those who get them plucked
لعن الله النامصات والمتنمصاتand the women who tattoo and the women who are tattooed, and the women who file their teeth
والواشمات والمستوشمات والفالجاتThose who change the creation of Allah for the sake of beauty.
