Question
Is it permissible to remove hairs (beard) growing on the upper part of the face, closer to the eyes, with tweezers?
Answer
Hello,
As understood from the question, it concerns hair associated with the eyes, and there is an issue of 'not wearing a woman's garment,' as plucking eyebrows is a woman's practice.
It is only permitted if it appears strange and causes embarrassment.
