Question:
Is it permitted for middle aged single women to pluck their eyebrows and any other stray hairs during the Omer? Also, does it have to be done Thursday or Friday to honor Shabbat or is any day ok?
Thank you
Answer:
- It is permitted for a woman to tweeze stray hairs from her face etc. and it isn’t considered haircutting her hair.
- You do not have to do it specifically on Thursday or Friday
Best wishes
