The answer

It is not permissible to remove hair from the eyebrows because it is considered namṣ (plucking) which is cursed, and it is a change in Allah's creation. As for removing hair between the eyebrows and hair from the rest of the body, it is permissible because there is no evidence to prevent it, and because a woman is required to adorn herself for her husband.
