The Ruling on Piercing the Eyebrow and Wearing Earrings

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Muhammad says: Shaykh, what is the ruling on piercing the end of the eyebrow and placing metal rings there for adornment? This is very common among girls and young women, and its use is temporary, for a year or less.

Answer:
This is not a known custom; the custom is to pierce the ear or the nose. That is what is customary. As for the eyebrows, it is not customary. Therefore, this action is not permissible. It may also cause the eyebrow hair to fall out, in which case it would be plucking the eyebrows. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who plucks and the one who has it done. Yes.
