Untidy Eyebrows: Can I Neaten Them Without Shaping?

Q: I am a female and I have untidy eyebrows. I’m married now and want to neaten it. I don’t want to shape it but I want to remove the stray hairs around it that makes it look untidy. My husband has granted me permission to do so but is it permissible?

A: Shaping the eyebrows is impermissible, however removing the overgrown hair and making it look normal is permissible.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

وفي تبيين المحارم إزالة الشعر من الوجه حرام إلا إذا نبت للمرأة لحية أو شوارب فلا تحرم إزالته بل تستحب اه وفي التاترخانية عن المضمرات ولا بأس بأخذ الحاجبين وشعر وجهه ما لم يشبه المخنث اه ومثله في المجتبى (رد المحتار 6/373)
