The question

To what extent is the statement of Dr. Najib Yamani sound, and what are his proofs in refuting Dr. Al-Jar'i regarding the ruling on plucking eyebrows (al-Nams), specifically by citing the Hadith of Ibn Mas'ud, which he considers to be mawquf (وقف - suspended, i.e., attributed to a companion) and not marfu' (مرفوع - elevated, i.e., attributed to the Prophet), and by arguing that prohibition and permission are only derived from an explicit text, and by the existence of a jurisprudential difference of opinion on the matter, and by the permissibility of plucking for adornment for one's husband, based on the action of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her)?

The answer

The article discusses Dr. Tayseer Saad's response to Najeeb Yamani regarding namṣ (plucking eyebrows), where Yamani criticized his dismay at the repeated mention of rulings on namṣ, considering it an objection to the ruling of Allah and His Messenger. He also clarified that the ḥadīth of Ibn Mas'ud regarding namṣ is a marfūʿ (attributed to the Prophet) ḥadīth, not a mawqūf (attributed to a Companion) ḥadīth as Yamani claimed, and that 'Aisha's statement on this ḥadīth is proven. He pointed out that relying on weak narrations or individual ijtihād (independent reasoning) without referring to the fundamental Islamic texts leads to academic fallacies. The article advised avoiding such writings that cast doubt on religion and emphasized the necessity of acquiring Islamic knowledge from trustworthy scholars.
