Question:
Is wearing earrings forbidden for women? And is piercing the ear for that purpose disliked and considered a change in Allah's creation? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It seems he is asking about wearing gold earrings. There is no harm in women wearing gold earrings, just as there is no harm in wearing a ring or what is placed in the ear or the nose. There is no harm in wearing gold earrings according to the majority of scholars, and the authentic hadiths indicate this. As for the statement that it is not permissible for women to wear gold earrings, this is an anomalous opinion that scholars do not rely on. Therefore, a woman wears what is customary for her to wear from jewelry, in whatever form is customary, because it is part of women's adornment, and a woman has a need for jewelry. As for piercing the ear to place jewelry, there is no harm in that, because it is for a benefit and a valid purpose, and because it does not harm the girl; it does not harm her, and it is for a benefit and a valid purpose, so there is no harm in it. Yes.
