Ruling on a man removing hair from his cheeks and eyebrows

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

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