Ruling on reducing the hair of the eyebrows
Question

                What is the ruling on reducing the hair of the eyebrows?
Praise be to Allah.
    If that is done by means of plucking, then it is haraam, and 
    indeed it is one of the major sins, because it is the “namas” for 
    which the Messenger  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed 
    the one who does it. But if it is done by cutting or shaving, then it was 
    regarded as makrooh by some scholars and forbidden by others who regarded it 
    as a kind of “namas”. They said: “ ‘Namas’ does not only mean 
    plucking, rather it is a general word which includes all ways of changing 
    the hair for which Allaah has not granted permission, if it is on the face.” 
    But what we think is that women should not do that unless the hair of the 
    eyebrows is so thick that it hangs down over the eyes and affects her 
    vision, in which case it is o.k. to remove that which is causing the 
    problem.
