The Ruling on Piercing a Girl's Ear to Wear Jewelry
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, I advise you to fear Allah. What is the ruling on piercing the ear due to a sin, and is it imitating the act of the polytheists with their bloodied animals?
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with it; because this is for the benefit of the girl to place jewelry in her ear. This is known among Muslims, and there is nothing wrong with it, if Allah wills; because it is for her benefit and does not harm her either.
The questioner:
We prayed in the house.
The Shaykh:
They are in the category of worship or devotion to something, whereas they are in the category of placing jewelry in her ear, yes.
