Al-Mughni
Book of Purification

Plucking hair from the face (Nams) is prohibited for the woman who plucks (Al-Namisa) and the one whose hair is plucked by her command (Al-Mutanammisa) due to the explicit curse issued by the Prophet (peace be upon him).

Shaving the hair is permissible because the prohibition was specifically stated regarding plucking.
