Exposing a Woman’s Navel
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Praise be to Allah alone, and may prayers and peace be upon the one after whom there is no prophet. Then: The Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta has reviewed what was sent to His Eminence the Grand Mufti from His Excellency, the Director of the Department of Religious Awareness at the Ministry of Health, and referred to the Committee by the General Secretariat of the
Council of Senior Scholars, with reference number (11123) and date 5/12/1424 AH. The questioner asked a question, the text of which is as follows: We inform Your Eminity that it has been observed recently in some clinics and private medical centers that certain cosmetic surgical procedures are being performed, including what is called “navel piercing,” which involves piercing the navel and inserting a ring similar to an ear ring, thereby exposing it when attending occasions by wearing a short blouse that ends just above the navel. We hope Your Eminity will kindly inform us of the Islamic ruling on such procedures, especially since some are performed with a piercing gun and without anesthesia.
