What is the ruling on filling an empty, hairless area in the eyebrow with kohl to beautify its appearance after an accident led to its division, knowing the prohibition of plucking (al-Nams)?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Tribulation is a divine law for elevating ranks and increasing good deeds. The basic ruling is that plucking eyebrows is not permissible because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed those who pluck eyebrows. However, it is permissible if it is to remove a shameful flaw that disfigures the creation. In this case, it is allowed. But if plucking is for a married woman to adorn herself with her husband's permission, some scholars have permitted it, provided there is no deception involved.
