Dyeing Eyebrows

Q: Are women allowed to dye their eyebrows brown? If not, could you please explain why?

A: Dying the eyebrows is an alteration to the natural creation of Allah. It is not a natural thing. In verse 119 of Surah 4, Allah tells us of the promise Shaytaan made to persuade mankind to change and alter the natural creation of Allah. Under this verse the hadith mentions practices such as shaving or trimming the eyebrows, using false hair, filing the front teeth just for enhancement of looks, dying the hair different colours, etc. We can thus realize that dying the eyebrows also comes under this category, and therefore, cannot be allowed. Furthermore, this is certainly a practice that came from the western style of fashion, and we are not allowed to imitate the kuffar in fashion and dressing.
