Eyebrows

The eyebrow is an area of thick, delicate hair above the eye that follows the shape of the lower margin of the brow ridges of some mammals. Their main function is to prevent sweat, water, and other debris from falling down into the eye socket, but they are also important to human communication and facial expression.

The narration about not plucking the eyebrows is from Abu Hurayra, who even was accused by 'A'isha of narrating things that weren't true. He is rejected by Shi'i scholars due to his unreliability. Hence, there is no narration in Shi'i sources about women not being allowed to pluck their eyebrows.
