Salam,
I know we aren't allowed to pluck our brows, but can we wax or shave or bleach or laser remove or nair? Please provide specific evidence about the eyebrows. Thanks!

Asalamu 'alykum warahmatulahi wabarakatuh.
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah has cursed the woman who does tattoos and the one who has them done, the woman who plucks eyebrows (al-naamisah) and the one who has it done (al-mutanammisah), and the one who files her teeth for the purpose of beauty, altering the creation of Allaah.”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5931; Muslim, 2125)
Allaah curses the woman who does it, so it's better off if you give it up.
“And whosoever fears Allâh and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty)” [al-Talaaq 65:2 – interpretation of the meaning].
That is the Command of Allah, which He has sent down to you: and if any one fears Allah, He will remove his ills, from him, and will enlarge his reward.
[al-Talaaq 65:5 – interpretation of the meaning]
If you obey Allaah, Allaah will make a way out for you and they may become better than you expected insha'Allaah.

Anyone who thinks their eyebrows will get bushy if you let them grow - try the following:
- Get your thumb and your index finger. (position them in a way, for example when you want to take a pinch of salt.)
- Then hold the hair of your eyebrows (with the thumb and index finger) [starting from the side of the eyebrow which is closer to the nose]
- Straighten that hair by sliding your thumb and finger to the other side of the eyebrow.
If you keep doing this, especially when you wash your face. Then the eyebrows will turn into a better shape insha'Allaah, and naturally they won't look bushy insha'Allaah.
This way you can feel happy that you're not disobeying Allaah Almighty, and you can feel happy that they don't seem bushy no more. And remember that if you stop (plucking etc.) sincerely to please Allaah, then things will turn out better than you expected insha'Allaah.
Allaah Almighty knows best.
Just use brow gel..it works much better and will keep them in place for as long as the gel is in! Also having correctly shaped brows for your face makes a woman look much younger and makes the eye appear larger.
hMMM!!! some scholars say dont, while others say its ok. there are many matters like this which are not agreed upon, but a women has the right to beautify herself for her husband, just making ur eyebrows look neat (some ppl do have excessive hair problem unfortunately) or trimming ur hair, mustache, ear piercing comes under maintainence, changing ALLAhs' creation would be doing palstic surgery or chaning yor gender etc.
we shoudnt judge each other on these minor issues. the more we indulge in these minor issues the more we would make it diffcult for muslims to unite, irght now we need to unite on a common grounds, one way shaitan messes up with our brains i by making us quarrel on petty issuesso that we forget the main issues we need to deal with.
ALLAH knows best.
FI-AMANALLAH
The evidence for that is the hadeeth of ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “Allaah has cursed the woman who does tattoos and the one who has them done, the woman who plucks eyebrows (al-naamisah) and the one who has it done (al-mutanammisah), and the one who files her teeth for the purpose of beauty, altering the creation of Allaah.”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5931; Muslim, 2125)
From the proof in the hadith above - it's forbidden for a person to pluck their eyebrows.
But:
Removing hair between the eyebrows
Question:
What is the Islamic ruling concerning the removal of hair from between the eyebrows?
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
It is permitted to remove this hair, because it is not part of the eyebrows
(Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, 5/197)

this topic has been risen on a different forum as well for which i did a bit of researching
my conclusion was that it is okay to remove hairs that are in between your eyebrows (only for a woman) since hair growing in between them would make a woman look masculine but any hairs other than that is haraam
Among the extremes of beautification prohibited by Islam is al-nams, which denotes removing the hair of the eyebrows by plucking in order to thin or shape them. The Prophet (peace be on him) cursed both the women who do the plucking and those who seek to have it done. (Narrated by Abu Daoud on good authority.) This practice is particularly frowned upon because it is customarily done by prostitutes.
According to some Hanbali scholars, if the husband approves it, the removal of facial hair (other than that of the eyebrows) and the use of powder, creams, and other beauty aids are permitted to women, as this is part of feminine adornment. Al-Nawawi is somewhat more strict, considering the removal of facial hair to be al-nams and hence forbidden. In contrast to his opinion, we may, however, mention Abu Daud's statement in his Sunan that "al-nams is plucking the eyebrows in order to thin them," from which we may conclude that al-nams does not include the removal of facial hair.
Al-Tabari reports a narrative concerning the wife of Abu Ishaq, who loved to beautify herself. Once she visited 'Aisha and asked, "What if a woman removes the hair from her forehead to please her husband?" 'Aisha replied, "Remove what is harmful from yourselves whenever possible."(Fath al-Bari, under the explanation of the hadith by Ibn Mas'ood in the chapter entitled "Pluckers of Eyebrows," in the book Clothing.)
