Is it permissible for a man to remove eyebrow hair?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Sharia prohibits plucking eyebrow hair (namas) for both women and men because it involves altering Allah's creation. Some jurists have permitted trimming overgrown eyebrow hair with scissors, but it is preferable to leave it as it is, to avoid disagreement. As for completely removing eyebrow hair, it is undoubtedly forbidden.
