What is the ruling on bleaching the eyebrows such that they appear as if they were plucked?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Lightening the eyebrows is permissible because it is neither plucking (namṣ) nor an alteration of Allah's creation, and no text has been narrated that prohibits it. It becomes forbidden if it involves deception of a suitor or imitation of disbelievers.
