Permissibility of eyebrow hair removal

Question:

Salaams, May Allah Aza Wajal grant Mawlana a long life Ameen.
I have in the past shaped my eyebrows and since I have started to practice I have totally stopped doing them alhamdulillah.. My question is, is it permissible for me to remove the hair from my eyebrows if they are joining in the middle to form one eyebrow and it is also seeable. (it is not joining thick as the normal as the full eyebrow but is very visible). Also, I am not married but if a woman is married is it permissible to ask permission of her husband to do her eyebrows?
As they are different opinions on this issue I would like to know the sharia ruling and hanafi fiqh on this?
thank you
Allah Hafiz

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,
If the eyebrows are linked in between, to remove the excess hair to separate them is permissible.
