Regardless of your religious beliefs, there are certain piercings that are permitted and others that are not. So how do you determine which piercings are appropriate for you? What are some alternative options to consider instead of getting piercings?
Nose piercing
Despite being popular among many Muslims, nose piercing is not a permissible act in Islam. Piercing is a form mutilation that causes deformities to the human body. It is also a violation of human dignity, a temptation to commit sin, and a violation of Islamic law.
Although the Qur’an refers to changing Allah’s creation, nose piercing is not one of the examples mentioned. Body branding, mutilation, and imitating other religions are all examples of changing Allah’s creation.
The Qur’an tells us that men and women have different roles in Islam. It prohibits women from imitating masculine style and men from copying feminine fashion. It also prohibits copying the life style of other people.
In the time of the Prophet, women were permitted to wear ornaments and jewelry. However, piercing the ear and nose were not common. Although it is not clear whether the Qur’an forbids nose piercings, some scholars believe that it is permissible.
The Qur’an says that women should only wear adornments in places where it is permissible. It also tells us that imitating other religions, evildoers, and kuffaar is haram. It is allowed for women to use adornments for beautification.

Zaleha’s parents made it clear that they wouldn’t allow Zaleha to have her nose pierced. She did not give up, however, and persuaded them to seek a second opinion from an Islamic website.
Zaleha’s parents then decided to ask an imam at the mosque later in the evening. The imam advised Zaleha not to pierce her nose. He stated that all Muslims should follow the Islamic rules, not just Zaleha. He also said that Zaleha’s parents would have to be strict in enforcing Islamic rules.
Ear piercing
The controversial issue of whether ear piercings constitute haram remains a debate. There are some who consider them to be permissible while others consider them to be haram. Due to the pain involved and the fact they alter the body, ear piercings can be considered haram.
Islamic law states that men cannot have any body piercings except their noses. However, ear piercings are permitted for women. In addition, a woman may wear gold or silver ornaments. The Quran and hadiths confirm this.
Some Islamic scholars consider ear piercings to be permissible. They see them as an exception from the general rule that women should not pierce their bodies. The Quran describes women as being naturally brought up on adornment. Women wore jewelry a lot during the time of the Prophet. It is also believed that Abu Zar’ filled the ears of his wife, Umm Zar, with jewelry until they were heavy. Most fuqaha’ accept this hadith.
According to the Hanbali school, ear piercings can be done. However, Shaafi scholars believe that ear piercings are haram. They believe that Islam prohibits harming others.

These scholars agree that piercings can be painful and cause pain. They also agree with the Quran and hadiths that ear piercings should not be allowed.
Although ear piercings are allowed for women, it is important that women do not wear jewelry that is designed to impersonate a man. It is also important to avoid jewelry made by non-believers.
There is no need to have ear piercings if they are painful or do not cause any health issues. Ear piercings that look like non-Muslims are something to avoid. Those who believe that ear piercings are haram include the Shafiis and the Hanafis.

It is a long-standing practice to pierce a part of the body. Non-Muslims have also popularized some of these piercings as a part of their fashion. In some cultures, nose and ear piercings are common. For a long time, ear piercings were legal in Muslim communities.
Although the practice of piercing a body part is not haram, mutilation is not allowed in Islam. Piercing of body parts is forbidden due to the harm it will do to the body. Piercing is also forbidden for promiscuous and immoral people. Perforating males is also forbidden.
Another prohibited piercing is the belly button piercing. It is also classified as body mutilation. The piercing is considered a form of imitation of non-Muslim people. The piercing area can also become infected, which could lead to infection and even death.
The disfigurement of Allah’s creation is the most obvious reason why belly button piercing has been banned. It is also considered an imitation of immoral people. Therefore, women should only adorn themselves with adornment in places that are permissible. They should not wear adornments in private areas.
It is also forbidden to pierce the lips, tongue, or eyebrows. Piercings may not be as dangerous as other body parts, but they are still considered haram. Women may still pierce their ears. During the time of the Prophet, piercing the ear was a common practice. Some Muslim scholars have argued that ear piercings are not considered haram for women.
Perforations are considered haram if they are done for show. Piercing should not be used to imitate non-Muslims or other people. Piercings should be done on sterile equipment. They should also be done with good care. The most dangerous risk is infection. The area around the piercing may discharge pus.
Alternatives to piercings
Despite the prohibition of piercings in Islam, there are still options that aren’t haram. For many years, piercings have been used across different cultures. Some of them are hygienic, safe, and can even be a form of beautification. Piercings may also cause some infections. It is important to clean the piercing thoroughly with non-harmful products.
The Islamic prohibition on body piercing is different than that of the prohibition of piercing a man’s ears. Piercing a man’s ears is not haram, but it is a sin if he does it for show. It is permissible to poke a woman’s ears, and it is considered an act of adornment.
Body piercings are a controversial topic in modern times. Some people believe that they are not haram, while others think that they are an unnecessary form of cosmetic surgery. Depending on who asks, a person may or may not be allowed to have a body piercing.
Many cultures have a tradition of piercing the ears. Women from the time of the Prophet often wore jewelry. Some scholars have concluded that ear piercing is halal for women, but others have concluded that it is haram.
Piercing in the lips and navel are also prohibited. Infections can result from piercing the navel and lips. These infections may include strep or staph bacteria which can cause local skin infection. The navel is the most common area to get infected because of its shape.
Piercing in the tongue is also prohibited, as it can lead to gum disease and cancer. Piercing the tongue is also a very painful experience. It is important to take care of the wound, clean it well, and avoid touching it.
Some people may see these restrictions as discriminatory. Others may see them as part of the Christian idea of our bodies being a temple. However, many Christians believe that piercings add to the beauty of a person’s body.
The Islamic prohibition against piercings rests on the fact it is a mutilation to the appearance of a person. The Quran states that Allah has given us the trust that our bodies are the property of Him.
