Question Summary:
Is It Permissible For Women To Pluck Their Eyebrows?

Question Detail:

I live in saudi arabia and i noticed that most women completely pluck their eye brows and paint them. Is this permissible?

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
 
In principle, it is impermissible for women to remove or shape their eyebrows. The only exception is a woman whose eyebrows have stray strands of hair and are unnaturally bushy; in which case it will be permissible to remove only the stray strands. If a woman removes more hair than the stray strands, she will be blameworthy and sinful.[i]
 
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
