Is Eyebrow Lamination Permissible?

Question

Is eyebrow lamination permissible?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate

I pray you are in good faith and health. Thank you for your question.

Eyebrow lamination would be permissible, with some conditions one should follow.

Eyebrow lamination is an often noninvasive and painless eyebrow procedure. It uses lifting cream and other products to straighten brow hair, change its direction, fill in gaps, and create fuller-looking brows.

Eyebrow lamination can be an alternative to microblading, eyebrow gels, or other styling methods to achieve a specific arch shape.

As such, it would be permissible if one keeps the following conditions in mind:

  • the cream should not create a barrier from water reaching the hair
  • not to be done in a way to draw attention, so just a regular neat application without overdoing it
[Ibn ’Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar; Indarpati, Fatawa Tatarkhaniyya; Abdul-Haq al-Dehlawi, Lama’at al-Tanqih]

Imran ibn Hussein (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, Modesty does not bring anything except goodness. [Muslim]
