The ruling on a woman dyeing her eyebrow hair the color of her skin
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a woman to dye her eyebrows without plucking them so that they appear the color of her skin?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with dyeing the eyebrows; what is prohibited is plucking them. As for her dyeing them with a dye that makes them beautiful and attractive, there is nothing wrong with that. It is not harmful, just like kohl, just as she applies kohl, just as she uses... on her lips. There is no blame on her in that, in dyeing them with something.
However, if she is old—meaning: an elderly woman—and has gone gray—meaning: her hair has turned gray—she must not change it to black; the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited changing gray hair to black. As for her applying something that beautifies her while she is black-haired... that is not changing gray hair. Rather, she chooses some of the beautiful dyes for her lips, or for her kohl, or for her eye. There is no blame on her, yes, or for her eyebrows, yes.
