Ibn Bazz: Trimming the eyebrows

Trimming the eyebrows
Q: What is the ruling on trimming the extra hair of the eyebrows? 

A: It is impermissible to remove or trim the hair of the eyebrows, for it is authentically reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) cursed the woman who plucks the eyebrows and the woman who does that for her. Scholars have clarified that trimming the eyebrows falls under Nams (removing hair from the eyebrows). 

Removing facial hair for a woman Q: What is the ruling on removing the facial hair for women? 

A: The issue has some clarifications; if it is normal facial hair, it is not permissible to remove it according to the Hadith, "Allah's Messenger invoked Allah's Curse on women who practice Nams (removing hair from the eyebrows) and those for whom Nams is made..." 

Nams is to remove the hair of the face and the eyebrows. 

If there is extra facial hair that makes woman look ugly such as excessive hair below her nose or on her cheeks, there is nothing wrong with removing it, because it makes her face look unattractive. It is not included in the forbidden Nams.
