What is the ruling on removing excess hair from the face, specifically above the eyebrows and from the cheeks, for men?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not permissible to shave the hair of the cheeks because it is part of the beard. There is no harm in removing hair above the eyebrows, as long as it does not involve taking anything from the eyebrow hairs themselves.
