The answer

Scholars agree on the prohibition of plucking eyebrow hair (namṣ). They differ concerning shaving and trimming, as some consider it to be in the same category as plucking, while others permit it, holding that only plucking is forbidden. As for the hair between the eyebrows, removing it is not considered namṣ. Laypeople are permitted to adopt any of these opinions.
