Trimming Eyebrows

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askmufti.co.za

Q: Is it permissible for men to remove the hair between the eyebrows for his wife?

A: A lady should not trim her eyebrows, nor get it trimmed by someone else, nor should she trim the eyebrows of another person. The Hadeeth has forbidden these acts. (Aunul Ma’bood v.9, p.208)

While it is haraam to trim the eyebrows, it will be permissible to remove hair that grows between the eyebrows, for this is like normal facial hair that a female is allowed to remove.

And Allah Ta’ala knows best.
