The Ruling on Eyebrow Hair Removal

Question
What is meant by eyebrow plucking? Is it permissible to thin the eyebrow if the husband orders it for beautification? What is meant by the usual appearance of women? What is the ruling on removing hair around the eyebrow?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible for a woman to pluck her eyebrows as long as it does not reach the level of temptation or involve beautifying herself for non-mahrams. She should take care of herself for her husband and not deviate from the usual appearance of women in the eyebrows, so that her appearance resembles that of other women. And God knows best.
