Ruling on removing the hair from the cheeks and the upper part of the eyebrow for a man

Question:
The questioner says: Is there sin in removing hair from the face, such as removing hair from the cheek and the upper part of the eyebrow, for a man? Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The cheeks are part of the beard, and one does not remove them. It is not permissible to remove the eyebrow hair, neither for men nor for women. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who plucks her eyebrows and the one who has them plucked. Plucking the eyebrows is the removal of eyebrow hair, so it is not permissible to remove eyebrow hair, neither from a man nor from a woman. Likewise, the hair on the cheeks; the cheeks follow the beard, because the beard is the hair that grows on the cheeks and the chin. A woman does not remove the hair on her face if it is ordinary and does not cause disfigurement. However, if it causes disfigurement, such as a beard for her, or a mustache, or hair that disfigures her, there is no harm in removing it, and it is not considered plucking the eyebrows.
