Question

Is shaping eyebrows allowed in islam?

Answer

Abstain from this. The hadeeth has cursed women who shape their eyebrows.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Is plucking or threading the eyebrows permissible?

“If a few strands of hair of the eyebrows are extremely long, causing obstruction to vision or creating discomfort to the eyes (due to protruding into the eyes) and require some trimming, there is no harm in doing so.”
