Plucking Eyebrows according to the holy Qur'an, hadiths & fatwah.

Rules of beautification -
Plucking Eyebrows according to the holy Qur'an, hadiths & fatwah.

Allah has forbidden women to remove any part of the hair of their eyebrows; this action is called al-namas in Arabic, and it is haram.
Namas is the word used to describe plucking the eyebrows, or it was said that it means plucking the facial hair.

According to the Shariah (Islamic Law) it is not permissible for a Muslim girl to pluck, trim or shape her eyebrows as this is against the natural beauty that Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has given to her.

This has been clarified in the following Hadiths:-
“The Prophet (May Allah bless him and grant him peace) said:
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has cursed those women who modify their eyebrows or ask others to do it for them. [Al-Bukhaari, 4604; Muslim, 2125]

The Prophet (Peace be upon him) also prohibited tattooing, cutting the teeth and widening the gap between them for the purpose of beautification, plucking the eyebrows, and wearing wigs and hairpieces for both men and women, (or the addition of any other natural or artificial hair.)
The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: Allah has cursed the Washimat and the Mustawshimat, the Namisat and the Mutanammisat, and the Mutafallijat for beauty, who change what Allah has created. (Al-Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawood, and At-Tirmizi).

The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: Allah has cursed the Washimat and the Mustawshimat, the Namisat and the Mutanammisat, and the Mutafallijat for beauty, who change what Allah has created.
(Al-Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawood, and At-Tirmizi).

The Washimat are the tattooers, and the Mustawshimat are the people who are tattooed. The Namisat pluck the eyebrows to straighten them or to make them thinner, and the Mutanammisat are the people whose eyebrows are plucked. Some Muslim scholars apply this prohibition of plucking the hair to all the facial hair of the woman. The Mutafallijat for beauty are the peoples who widen the gaps between their teeth for the sake of beautification.

*Cursed means ‘cast out from the Mercy of Allah. It is the Mercy of Allah that makes a person to enter Paradise. He/she who is out cast from the Mercy will not enter it. The curse is not permanent but it is lifted when a person sincerely repents to Allah for this mistake. So one should not feel doomed because they committed this mistake when they were in days of Jahiliyyah (ignorance).

shaytaan (satan ) is the biggest enemy for mankind and he is determined to mislead people away from obeying Allah and persuade people to do what Allah has forbidden them to do. One of these things is that shaytaan will try to get humans to change the nature of creation.

Removing or plucking the eyebrows implies changing the creation of Allah, as Allah tells us that the Shaytan said:
“…and indeed I will order them to change the nature created by Allah.”
[Noble Quran 4:119]

QUESTIONS:
Can i pluck my eyebrows for my husband?

It is not permissible to remove the hair of the eyebrows because this is the plucking for which the Messenger of Allaah (sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) cursed those who do it, and it is a kind of changing the creation of Allaah, which is the action of the Shaytaan. If a woman’s husband tells her to do it, she should not obey him, because it is a sin, and there is no obedience to any created being if it involves disobedience towards the Creator. Rather obedience should only be with regard to things that are good and proper, as the Prophet (sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) said. (Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daaimah)

The Prophet (sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) said:
“There can be no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator.” (Ahmad- saheeh)

OK, I am Not Plucking it. But, Can I shape it, Cut it, etc?

Sheikh Ibn Jibrin said: “It is not permissible to cut the hair of the eyebrows, or to shave it, reduce it or pluck it. This is not the matter of beauty, rather it is altering the creation of Allah Who is the Best of creators. A warning has been narrated against doing that and the one who does it is cursed; this implies that it is forbidden.”

Indeed Allah knows the best.

As we can see the warning from the Prophet Salla Allahu 'alayhi wa Sallam forbids this activity. This is why great scholars like Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalani, Tabari, Nawawi, among others have actually prohibited (forbidden) any kind of modification to the eyebrows, even removing hair from in between linked eye-brows.

Allah says;
‘And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad) gives you, take it; and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it)’ [al-Hashr 59:7]

“It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allaah and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision”
[al-Ahzaab 33:36]

“And when Our Verses are recited to such a one, he turns away in pride, as if he heard them not–as if there were deafness in his ear. So announce to him a painful torment.” (al- Luqman:7)

►Surely, you are NOT going to be that one! Then, give it up, my dear Sister. It’s simply not worth it. You look beautiful even if you didn’t pluck your eyebrows. Don’t let the Kuffar get to you. Don’t be the one whom Allah curses.

"Beautiful people are not always good, but good people are always beautiful."
[Ali Ibn Abi Taalib]
