Hair and Nails

Shaping the eyebrows

Q: I am worried about tidying my eyebrows. I heard the hadith that if you pluck your eyebrows you will never be able to smell the fragrance of paradise. Can you clarify as to what I am able to do about this within the limits of the shariah?

Neatening the eyebrows

Q: I am a female and I have untidy eyebrows. I'm married now and want to neaten it. I don't want to shape it but I want to remove the stray hairs around it that makes it look untidy. My husband has granted me permission to do so but is it permissible?

Wearing a wig

Q: Is it permissible for my friend who is a cancer patient to wear a wig, due to hair loss on his head?. I have heard that it is permissible for females to wear synthetic wigs. Will the same apply to men?
