Fatwa no. 13437 Q: There is a young woman at the beginning of her life who has very thick eyebrows that make her look ugly, so she was forced to shave some of the hair in between her eyebrows and thin the rest to make herself look acceptable to her husband. They would both like to have the advice of someone who is knowledgeable in matters related to the Shari‘ah (Islamic law), especially as this affects many people. Should this young woman continue to do this or not? A: All praise be to Allah Alone, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, and his family and Companions. It is not permissible to shave the eyebrows or thin them, because this is the Nams (removing hair from the face/eyebrows) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) cursed the women who do it or ask someone to do it for them. It is obligatory on you to make Tawbah (repentance to Allah) and seek His Forgiveness for what is past and be careful not to repeat it in the future.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions. The Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta' |
