The answer

The question is unclear, but looking at its implied meaning, which is the ruling on a woman plucking hair growing between her eyebrows, the preponderant opinion is that it is permissible to remove it, especially if it is thick. As for the eyebrow hair, it is not permissible to pluck it, because it falls under namṣ (plucking eyebrows), which is forbidden, unless it is very thick to the extent that it disfigures one's appearance. In that case, it is permissible to remove the amount that removes the disfigurement.
