[9wQlZkIj]

It is prohibited for both men and women to cut/trim their eyebrows. At most, one may only remove the stray strands of the eyebrows.

عن علقمة قال : لعن عبد الله الواشمات والمتنمصات والمتفلجات للحسن المغيرات خلق الله فقالت أم يعقوب ما هذا ؟ قال عبد الله وما لي لا ألعن من لعن رسول الله وفي كتاب الله ؟ قالت والله لقد قرأت ما بين اللوحين فما وجدته قال والله لئن قرأتيه لقد وجدتيه { وما آتاكم الرسول فخذوه وما نهاكم عنه فانتهوا } (صحيح البخاري، 7/ 83، دار الفكر)

“Abdullāh cursed those women who practiced tattooing and those who removed hair from their faces and those who created spaces between their teeth artificially to look beautiful, such ladies have changed what Allāh has created. Um Ya'qūb said, "What is that?" 'Abdullāh said, "Why should I not curse those who were cursed by Allāh's Messenger and are referred to in Allāh's Book?" She said to him "By Allāh, I have read the whole Qur'ān but I have not found such a thing. 'Abdullāh said, "By Allāh, if you had read it (carefully) you would have found it. (Allāh says 'And what the Prophet gives you, take it and what he forbids you, abstain (from it).” ( Sahīh Al-Bukhārī, Vol.7,Pg.83, Dār al-Fikr)

The above Hadeeth refer to those who remove or shape the eyebrows merely for cosmetic reasons.
