Separating connected brows over nose

Question

My daughter has connected brows over her nose. Is she allowed to separate them?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

The hair between eyebrows is something on which the Islamic legislation kept silent about, so there is no text in the Sharee’ah which prohibits cutting it or leaving it. Therefore, it is permissible for a woman to cut it as this does not fall under the plucking of hair which is forbidden especially if it causes a deformation.

Allah knows best.
