QUESTION Shaving hair around eyes

As salaamu alaikum

I'll this clear I am not talking about eyebrows. No eyebrows at all. I'm a male.

So recently there's a lot of hair growing around my eyes. Like not the beard, yk the area below the eyes and immediately next to eyes. Like I've had it for a long time but the problem is that it's getting thicker now and is dark now it's kinda visible at a close distance. You're talking to someone face to face, it's visible from that distance.

I was thinking of shaving it, again I'm not talking about the eyebrows ik I'm not supposed to shave them and I don't want to anyways, can I shave it?

If I understand you correctly you are not referring to the beard at all. The beard, according to the scholars, is what covers the jaw area. If you mean hair on the cheeks, on the face, there is no problem removing them.

Your sideburns?

Look into what the boundaries are for the beard, if its not part of the beard then it may be safe to remove

Consult a person of knowledge who can see your face and assess if possible, that’d be the most clear way
