Following the laws of the Koran implies the implementation of certain rules regarding appearance. This also includes plucking eyebrows in women. However, the laws of Islam are not as severe as they may seem.
Why you can not pluck eyebrows
According to the Qur'an, changing your appearance is a sin. It is not allowed to make any changes in appearance if it is not dictated by medical necessity. By plucking eyebrows, a woman changes their shape and, accordingly, makes changes in appearance. Also, you can’t ask someone else about this procedure or pluck your eyebrows for someone else. Thus, salon procedures and work in a beauty salon related to eyebrow correction are also prohibited. However, this prohibition is not as strict as it seems. For example, you can pluck too coarse and stiff hairs that grow separately, above or below, without changing the basic shape of the eyebrows. You can also remove the hair on the bridge of the nose, giving the eyebrows a fused look, since the bridge of the nose does not apply to eyebrows.
According to the Qur'an, a woman can decorate herself, but so that it does not go beyond modesty.
Is it possible to remove hair
According to the Qur'an, there is nothing wrong with a woman removing hair on her legs, armpits, pubic, near nipples, on her chin. If the husband allows her to shave her hair in these places, there is no sin here. According to the Koran, both men and women need to remove hair around those places where they grow in excess. Fitra, the ideal of the human appearance, includes mustache cutting, beard dropping, teeth brushing, nose washing, nail cutting and, besides all this, plucking hair under the armpits and cutting pubic hair. Thus, the removal of excess hair is not only not prohibited, but also desirable.
It is the duty of a Muslim woman to monitor her appearance. She should always look clean, neat and smell good.
