What are the boundaries of the eyebrow on the side of the nose to avoid falling into the category of "namṣ" (plucking) when removing hair between the eyebrows?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The hair growing on the rounded bone above the eyes is the eyebrow, and its removal is prohibited, whether it is thick or not. As for the hair between the eyebrows, above the nose, it is not part of them, and its removal is permissible; it does not fall under namṣ (plucking eyebrows). Similarly, hair at the ends of the eyebrow or below it, descending from the bone, falls under facial hair, which is permissible to remove.
