The ruling on one who plucks eyebrow hair without intention
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner recalls, O Shaykh, and says: that while reading books, she finds that automatically she places her hand on her eyebrows and plucks some of these hairs. She says: I have learned that this is forbidden, and I have repented to my Lord, but I return to it without my awareness, then I notice it and I return to repentance anew. What is the ruling on my repentance?
Answer:
You must be serious in this matter and beware of being lax. Whenever it is done without intention or choice, it does not harm—Allah willing—because plucking the eyebrows is not permissible; it is the plucking of eyebrows (nams) for which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who does it.
But if the thing was not done intentionally by you, but rather out of distraction, then Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is the Pardoning, the Forgiving, if you did not intend this thing. However, you must strive to control your soul and be careful not to take anything from the eyebrows. Repentance is accepted if it is sincere, a repentance of true return that Allah accepts whenever the servant sins: it is regret for the past, abandoning it, and the firm resolve not to return to it, a sincere resolve. This is repentance. If you do this in a case like this, Allah will accept your repentance. Yes.
