What is the ruling on piercing the ear more than once to put in more than one earring in one ear?

The questioner : A woman asks: O honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on piercing the ear more than once to put in more than one earring in one ear?

The Shaykh : I fear that this is extravagance, for a woman to put on her ears more than is customary. And Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, said: . So if the custom is that a woman pierces two holes in one ear, there is nothing wrong with it. But if the custom is not that, it is the condemned extravagance. And it is feared that women will compete in this and boast. So in this year she pierces two holes, and in the second year three and four, until she pierces the whole ear. And this is not far off. Women follow one another. Yes.
