Is it permissible to remove facial hair while knowing that the eyebrows are not removed?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it permissible to remove facial hair without removing the eyebrows, and may Allah reward you with good?

The Shaykh : As for the man, it is not permissible for him to shave his beard, but it is recommended for him to trim his mustache.
As for the woman, if hair grows in the place of the beard and mustache that is visible when a person sees it, she may remove it with any remover. If it is known hair, meaning one or two hairs that do not cause disfigurement, she should leave it and it is not permissible for her to pluck it. There is no difference in this between the eyebrows and other parts, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
May Allah curse the one who plucks her eyebrows and the one who has her eyebrows plucked لعن النامصة والمتنمصة
