In the name of God, compassionate & merciful بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ Peace be with you السلام عليكم
OMG THOSE EYEBROWS ARE HUUUUUGEEE! :0
One of these really debated topics in Islam that NEVER gets resolved is the permissibility of plucking eye brows. I now have -alhamdulilah- the info about this topic soaked from various sheikhs, scholars and hadith like a sponge.
To cut to the point this shortened hadith should say it for you,
'Allah had cursed those women who tattoo and who have themselves tattooed, those who pluck hair from their faces and those who make spaces between their teeth for beautification, changing what Allah has created.' (hadith...)
So you can’t pluck your eye brows sisters, well you can but you'll be cursed which really isn't a good thing for a Muslim, if you get me. So no more stencils and crayons for your forehead! Ha ha! :D
But we still have the issue of the 'radical brows', you know those extremist hairs that stick out, the ones that really stand out in a crowd; and the well known 'Unibrow' wow that word's in the dictionary, also known as 'Monobrow' ha! What about them?
According to a scholarly consensus you can 'trim that radicalness’ off your beautiful face... I said TRIM, so sister please put that lawnmower down. You may also remove that hideous third eye brow, and any other facial hair that resembles that of a man all for the purpose of looking more feminine, ladylike and normal.
And the men. They're not free from this hairiness either. For advice, watch this Unibrow video. Enough said.
An excellent Sheikh I heard also spoke about this after the question arose,
he said exactly what I explained, he used the phrase 'radical hairs' and I laughed my khaymar off! (I was like, I totally see those everywhere! And they are soo environmentally hazardous!) And like all good Mu'mins the Sheikh ended his answer with 'Allah hu alem' = Allah knows best. About that extremism.
Hope you found that useful, and pass on the message inshallah.
