Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Plucking or trimming eyelashes falls under the forbidden act of namṣ, due to the : "Allah has cursed the women who practice tattooing and those who get tattooed, and the women who pluck their facial hair and those who get it plucked, and the women who make spaces between their teeth for beauty, changing the creation of Allah." These actions are forbidden because their doers are cursed, and namṣ is the plucking of hair from the face.
