[aurorascopic]

hm maybe nobles talking about when guys shave bits of their eyebrows off like, lines in their eyebrows, its supposed to be this 'bad boy' kind of look..i think its revolting. also, you get girls doing it too, shavig lines in their eyebrow.
in terms of shaving eyebrows completely, ive never heard of men doing that, ive heard of both men and women plucking (men recently) but shaving yeah, you get women, especially celebrities, who shave their eyebrows completely and have their eyebrows lined or tattooed or something, i saw it on tv once :confused:

[CheifJunior]

its not haram!

but i personally thing it should not be done. Becuase its revolting

[Abu Mus'ab]

It Is Haraam.

And The Ruling Is Based On The Hadith.

1: Not To Follow The Kufaar

2: As The Ruling With Shaving The Hair You Are Not Allowed To Shave Peices And You Are Not Allowed To Shave It In A Kufaar Way.

The Conclusion Is That Shaving The Eyebrows Is Breaking These Laws And Thereby It Is Haraam.

jazkallah..cheif junior stop making ure own fatwahs up!!

[dhakiyya]

for women you are not allowed to pluck the eyebrows themselves but you are allowed to pluck excess hair growing around the eyebrow - for example removing hair between the eyebrows so you don't have a "monobrow" cause this is outside the normal eyebrow.

but the thing that some women do of plucking part of the eyebrow away (and then pencilling it in again :wacko: ) is not allowed

[Abu Mus'ab]

Barakallahu Feeki Ukhti,

As For Cheif Junior,Instead Of Making Everything Halaal Rather Admit That You Dont Know To Save Yourself From Making A Fool Of Yourself.

[Rayhana]

Salam aleykum! I do plucking them! but only a little ! :) :D

[CheifJunior]

you cant class something haram based on hadith you idiots

[IceQueen]

there are other hadiths supporting what the above posters have said, i'll see if i can find them...hang on...

[mgk81]

women are allowed to beautify themselves for their spouses.
if plucking the eyebrows is haraam as in following the kufaar, then so to should they abstain from wearing makeup, lipstick etc as thats what the kufaar are doing too.
U can say that its undesirable/makrooh (if there is an authentic hadith) but u cannot say its haraam.
Even to the cutting of hair, if a woman feels she wants to cut it and she wears her hijab, then why not.
People wants to make islam so difficult especially for the women. Men should stop thinking they the rulers of women, we are the overseeirs of women/wives, protect them, make things easy for them without stepping over the boundaries of Quran and sunnah.

[Hayaa]

Sahi Muslim Book 024, Number 5301:

'Abdullah reported that Allah had cursed those women who tattooed and who have themselves tattooed, those who pluck hair from their faces and those who make spaces between their teeth for beautification changing what God has created. This news reached a woman of the tribe of Asad who was called Umm Ya'qub and she used to recite the Holy Qur'an. She came to him and said: What is this news that has reached me from you that you curse those women who tattooed and those women who have themselves tattooed, the women who pluck hair from their faces and who make spaces between their teeth for beautification changing what God has created? Thereupon 'Abdullah said: Should I not curse one upon whom Allah's Messenger :saw: has invoked curse and that is in the Book also. Thereupon that woman said: I read the Qur'an from cover to cover, but I did not find that in it. whereupon he said: If you had read (thoroughly) you would have definitely found this in that (as) Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, has said:" What Allah's Messenger brings for you accept that. and what he has forbidden you. refrain from that." That woman said: I find this thing in your wife even now. Thereupon he said: Go and see her. She reported: I went to the wife of 'Abdullah but found nothing of this sort in her. She came back to him and said: I have not seen anything. whereupon he said: Had there been anything like it in her, I would have never slept with her in the bed.

Question :

I understand that plucking the eybrows is prohibited in Islam. I have the following questions. 1) Can the eybrow hairs be trimmed? 2) Can the eybrow hairs be lightened in color (for example from brown to blond)?
Please provided daleel.
Assalamu Alaikum
Answer :
Praise be to Allaah.

Namas is the word used to describe plucking the eyebrows. According to a saheeh hadeeth, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The woman who plucks facial hair and the woman who has this done are cursed.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari and Muslim).

Namas means plucking the hair, or it was said that it means plucking the facial hair. “The woman who plucks facial hair” is the woman who removes hair from her own face or the face of another woman. “The woman who has this done” refers to a woman who plucks hair from her own face or tells another woman to do this for her. Minmaas refers to tweezers, the tool used to remove a thorn. When a woman removes hair from her face, this can also be done by using a thread. This also includes thinning the eyebrows.

The fuqaha’ agreed that plucking the eyebrow hair is included in the removal of facial hair, which is forbidden because of the hadeeth: “Allaah has cursed the women who pluck their facial hair and the women who have this done.”

The majority of fuqaha’ said that removing facial hair other than the eyebrows is also included in Namas, and the fuqaha’ agreed that the prohibition on Namas in the hadeeth should be understood to mean that it is haraam.

Removing facial hair is also forbidden for men. (Al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah, part 14, Tanammus).

Al-Haytami said: as for removing some of the eyebrow hairs if they have grown long, I do not see anything wrong with this according to our companions, but it should be makrooh because it is changing the creation of Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted. Nothing concerning this was narrated so it should be makrooh. (Al-Fataawa al-Kubra by Ibn Hajar al-Haytami, part 4, Baab al-‘Aqeeqah).

If the eyebrows have grown so long that they are troublesome or causing harm such as preventing one from seeing properly, then the part that is causing the problem may be trimmed.
With regard to dyeing the eyebrows or a part of them with a blonde colour or a colour similar to that of the skin, there is nothing wrong with this, as was stated in a fatwa issued by our Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him and raise his status). He also stated in a fatwa that it is permissible to remove hair growing between the eyebrows because this is not part of them, but he stated that it is not permissible to trim the eyebrows if they are not troublesome or causing harm.

I think that also trimming is similar to plucking and therefore it is haram.
But brothers and sisters i was talking to a friend of mine and he told me that if you are doing (plucking or trimming your eyebrows) it for the purpose of making yourself presentable then he says that it is ok.
He was arguing that we also shave our beards so that we make ourselved presentable then whats wrong with us trimming our eyebrows so that we look presentable (my friend was saying this)

IS THIS CORRECT???

This Not Correct At All.

There Is No Excuse For Shaving The Beard.

Growing The Beard Is Wajib.And It Is Haraam To Shave It.

Well, quite frankly speaking, why else would people trim their eyebrows? Of course it is for them, well according to what they think, to make them more presentable. But how can be alter what Allah (swt) has given us? Its just like, if someone thinks that they have a big nose, then they have a nose job to make themselves look more presentable. Ok so eyebrows are different in that they are not a 'body part' but why has the hadith strongly said that it is haraam? There is so much hikmah in the sunnah.

I have noticed, that everyone's eyebrows are different and they contribute to your expressions, no doubt. Some people have more arched eyebrows, some have thick ones, some people have straight eyebrows and when people speak, these eyebrows contribute to their expressions and give them 'individualism.' Allah (SWT) is our creator; he has created us perfectly, so surely by altering his creation we are being ungrateful.

Once someone said something so beautiful which always stays in mind. There was a sister who had quite fine hair and it was quite thin compared to that of her sister. And so someone said to her, that 'Look, Allah (SWT) created you according to what suits you. As you are really slim and small, maybe if you had thick and lots of hair, it would not suit you and completely swamp you.' And thats so true. The media and other influences have lead people to believe that we should look one way and be a certain way. But the truth is that Allah has blessed us all with different qualities and attributes. Something that we have, others may not.

I have noticed, and subhanAllah I am not lying at all, that people who pluck their eyebrows have somewhat of a darkness on their face. Sisters who start doing their eyebrows, look less pretty then when they didnt, even if they are what you call 'straggly.' And the minute they stop, they have this instant noor on this face.

Plucking eyebrows gives everyone the same look. Eyebrows are usually shaped in an arched way which gives you a startled sort of look. But then, wheres your individuality gone.

With regards to the beard, people may trim their beard to make it look neater. But it certainly does not compare to eyebrows. And did you know that the only men at the time of the Prophet (SAW) who shaved their beards (as in were clean shaven) were Qawm-e- Lut, homosexuals. This included kafir and Muslim men.

Question #22393: Reducing the eyebrows by cutting them
Click here to get a printable versionhttp://63.175.194.25/images4/print.jpg (http://63.175.194.25/index.php?cs=prn&ln=eng&QR=22393&dgn=4&dgn=2)

Question :

I have come across various Islamic articles & write-ups that have spoken against shaving of hair on eyebrows amongst other areas of the body. I however need clarification on this does this shaving refer to TOTAL shaving? Am I allowed to reduce the amount of hair by mere shaping ? I have very bushy eyebrows that need trimming as it makes my face look crowded.
Answer :
Praise be to Allaah.

We will quote for you the fatwas issued by the scholars concerning the ruling on removing hair from the eyebrows and hair from the rest of the body.



Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “If removing hair from the eyebrows is done by plucking, this is namas (plucking the eyebrows) and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed the naamisah (the woman who plucks eyebrows) and the mutanammisah (the woman who has her eyebrows plucked). This is a major sin, and women are singled out in this ruling because they are the ones who usually do this, for the purpose of beautification, but if a man were to do it he would also be cursed, just as a woman is cursed for doing this, Allaah forbid.



If hair is removed from the eyebrows by a method other than plucking, such as by cutting or shaving, some of the scholars regard this as being the same as plucking, because it is changing the creation of Allaah, so there is no difference between plucking, cutting or shaving. This is undoubtedly more on the safe side, so a person must avoid that, whether man or woman.”
(Quoted from Fataawa ‘Ulama’ al-Balad al-Haraam, p. 577)



The following question was mentioned in Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (5/196):
A young woman has very thick eyebrows that make her look bad. This girl was forced to shave part of the area between the eyebrows and to reduce the rest so that she will look acceptable to her husband.



The Committee replied:
“It is not permissible to shave the eyebrows or reduce then, because that is the namas (plucking) for which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed the one who does it and the one who asks for it to be done. What you must do is repent and pray for forgiveness for what you have done in the past, and beware of that in the future.



Another question (5/195) was put to the Committee:
Namas means removing some of the hair of the eyebrows, and is not permitted, because the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed the woman who plucks her eyebrows and the one who has that done, but it is permissible for a woman to remove a beard or moustache, if one grows, or hair from her legs or arms.”



The hadeeth which says that the woman who plucks the eyebrows or who has that done is cursed was narrated by al-Bukhaari (4886) and Muslim (2125), from the hadeeth of ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him).



The point is that it is haraam to remove any hair from the eyebrows, whether all the hair is removed by shaving, or some of it is removed by cutting. Anything apart from that is permissible, such as removing hair from the arms and legs, and the area between the eyebrows. The following appeared in Fataawa al-Lajnah (5/197):



Question: What is the ruling on plucking the hair between the eyebrows?



Answer: It is permissible to pluck it, because it is not part of the eyebrows.



And Allaah knows best.
