Trimming the eyebrows and unibrow

· 14 Muharram 1445 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Kindly explain to what extent around the eyebrow can a female remove hair, as well as for the unibrow?

Answer

As long as the eyebrows and unibrow do not become untidy to the extent that they start obstructing one’s vision, they should not be trimmed. Yes, if they start obstructing one’s vision, then they may be trimmed to the extent that one is able to see once again without any difficulty.

Is plucking or threading the eyebrows permissible?

“If a few strands of hair of the eyebrows are extremely long, causing obstruction to vision or creating discomfort to the eyes (due to protruding into the eyes) and require some trimming, there is no harm in doing so.”
