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

It is permissible for you to treat this defect by making an eyebrow hair transplantation as we clarified in Fatwa 87794.

However, it is not permissible for you to borrow money with Riba (interest and/or usury) to do that because Riba is one of the grave major sins that incurs the curse of Allaah. Besides, your case is not a necessity that makes it permissible for you to deal with Riba; for more benefit, please refer to Fatwa 81364.

Moreover, it is permissible for you to put permanent dyeing in that place (the eyebrows) but without resorting to tattooing which is forbidden.

Allaah Knows best.
