The Ruling on Piercing the Ear
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The listener Fatimah Muhammad says: Is it permissible to pierce the upper part of the ear?
The Shaykh:
For the sake of jewelry, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
The presenter:
Whether it is the lower part of the ear or the upper part.
The Shaykh:
No, it is not in the upper part; it is not permissible in the upper part. It is only in the lower part of the ear, in the earlobe. Yes.
The presenter:
If one pierces the upper part of the ear, does one commit a sin?
The Shaykh:
There is no basis for that. Yes.
