Q: When I was young I managed to shave both of my eyebrows by playing with a Gillette razor in the shower and it has never grown out normal like I had it from that time. I have really regretted it because some extra hair underneath the eyebrows is growing from my eyebrow to my eyes. So I do not look like how I used to normally. Now I remove the extra hair underneath to only have my original eyebrow left. Is this allowed for me?

Q: Offering or accepting bribe is indeed forbidden in Islam. However there are times when one is really helpless and cannot gain one's right or avoid being subject to to injustice except through bribery. This question is on behalf of my friend. "I am running an export oriented industry for which water is most essential. My water flow meter's visibility has become quite dull for which I approached the concerned authorities to allow permission to me for purchase of new meter as I fear that the current meter reading is also not clearly visible. I have been asked to send this meter for testing which I have done but the officials demand bribe for giving the permission to me to purchase new water flow meter which is my right. Delays will put me to great losses in my business. My question is that under the above circumstances if I fulfil their unjust demands would I be committing the major sin and face Allah's Wrath?"
