Is it permissable to pluck inbetween eyebrows?

Question

I want to remove the hair in between my eyebrows, above my nose, and extending into my hair-line. Can I pluck stray hairs? Can I trim bushy eyebrows?

Answer

Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu

No, it is not permissible for females to pluck their eyebrows. Rasulullah
(Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) cursed a Mutanammisa (a female who seeks to
remove her eyebrows).

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
