Plucking the eyebrows evenly

482

Q 1: What is the ruling on plucking the eyebrows evenly, especially for a woman who would like to adorn herself for her husband or her fiancé whether she was asked to do this or not, but she likes to beautify herself. This is especially when the eyebrow is wide, deep black and its hair is long and thick and the two eyebrows are almost connected.

A: It is not permissible for a woman to cut, pluck or shave her eyebrows in compliance with the statement of the Prophet (peace be upon him): Allah has cursed the woman who plucks hair from the eyebrows and the woman who has the hair of her eyebrows plucked. In fact, Nams (removing hair from the face/eyebrows) is not an act of adornment, it is a sort of distortion and change of the creation of Allah. If the husband orders his wife to do this, it will not be permissible for her to obey him; because such an act is a sin. There is no obedience to a creature if it involves disobedience to the Creator. (Part No. 4; Page No. 66) Husbands should fear Allah as He should be feared and should not ask their wives to disobey Allah in any act.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
