What is the ruling on thinning thick eyebrows by removing what descends onto the eyelids and what slightly protrudes above them, so that their appearance becomes acceptable without making them excessively thin or conspicuous, knowing that the namisah (plucker) and the mutanammasah (one for whom plucking is done) are cursed, and what are the limits of nams?
