What is the ruling on removing undesirable hair from eyebrows without removing all eyebrows or changing their shape?
Answer
Praise Be to Allah and Peace Be Upon His Messenger.
Originally, tweezing hair from eyebrows is haram. It is prevented by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who said: “Allah has cursed those women who tattooed themselves, the women who remove their eyebrows, the women who make spaces between their teeth for beautification changing What Allah has created.” Related by Muslim
However, removing extra hair which surrounds the eyebrows and makes the face too ugly which could embarrass the woman without removing the eyebrow completely is allowed as this could be considered as a source of harm which must be cleared.
