The answer

Plucking (al-Namṣ) refers specifically to removing hair from the eyebrows, not other facial hair. There is no harm in trimming the excess length of an eyebrow hair that droops over the eyelid, if it causes discomfort, and this is not considered the forbidden plucking. However, plucking the hair from its root remains, in principle, prohibited.
