Dress & Attire

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?

Islamic attire in college

Q: I am from India. I did not offer Namaz regularly before 1 year. I did not know the difference even between Mahram and Gair Mahram. I was spending my time in music and other major sins. But Alhamdulillah! Allah Ta'ala took me out of the valley of sins. Now I perform Salaah on time, and do not listen music. My life changed by the bayans of Ulama likes of Hazrat Maulana Syed Anzar Shah Qasmi D.B. Now I wear the cloths like the Ulama-e-Deoband, I always wears a Topi. I passed class 12th this year and now I am to get admission in any collage. I will have to wear uniform defined by college. But I don't want to wear pants and shirt. I want to study more but I don't want to wear pants and shirt. But if I goes to college, I will have to wear pants and shirt. Please tell me that what should I do?
