What is the ruling on women thinning their eyebrows in Islam, with mention of the hadiths?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
Allah has forbidden women from removing their eyebrow hair (al-Namas), as it is considered altering Allah's creation, which is prohibited. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed the tattooers, those who have their eyebrows plucked, and those who create spaces between their teeth for beauty, altering Allah's creation. Al-Namas is the removal of eyebrow hair to thin or shape them.
