Question

Is it permissible for a woman to trim her eyebrow hairs with a scissor ? Please give the full fatwa of eyebrow shaping and trimming etc.

Answer

It is not permissible to trim, pluck, shave or shape the eyebrows. However, if some strands stray from the natural eyebrow shape and it looks abnormal then it can be removed to normalize it.
