Neatening the eyebrows
Question
Is it allowed to pluck the extra hairs on the eyebrows if a woman has broad and irregular eyebrows. She is not doing it to keep thin the eyebrows. It is only to look good for her husband.
Answer
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.
