Today’s topic is about something we DON’T really want to talk about. It’s about…. PLUCKING EYEBROWS This is a topic we just want to avoid or hope it would just go away Although, not thinking about it does not mean that the Hukum (order) isn’t there. And you know what? It is sad to say that at least 90% of our sisters (if not more) are guilty of doing it.
But dear Sister, have you really thought about it? What does Islam REALLY say about shaping the eyebrows? Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-Uthaymeen says:
“Plucking of women’s eyebrows is not permissible. That’s because the Messenger of Allaah (sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) cursed the one who does it. It is haraam and is not permitted.”
The evidence:(1) Removing or plucking the eyebrows implies changing the creation of Allaah, as Allaah tells us that the Shaytaan said:“…..and indeed I will order them to change the nature created by Allaah.” [al-Nisa:119]
