Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman who says: A phenomenon has spread among the girls, where one of them pierces the top of one ear, not the earlobe, to hang an earring on it. She asks: Is this action permissible, or is it of the forbidden imitation?
Answer:
According to the custom of the women in the country. If their custom does not contradict [the Sunnah], then it is fine. But if their custom is not this, then she would be like the women of the country.
