Are Muslims girls allowed to pierce their ears and nose?
Hello Amy, Yes, nose rings are allowed. I defy anyone to give evidence that states noserings are haram. And here is a fatwa by Dr. Muzammil H. Siddiqi (Graduated from Islamic University of Madina in 1965 with a higher degree in Arabic and Islamic Studies. Received M.A. in Theology from Birmingham University and Ph.D. in Comparative Religion from Harvard University): “The women are allowed to wear jewelry (earring, nose-rings, necklaces, bracelets, rings), but otherwise, piercing the body in different other parts (the belly-button, chest, tongue) are considered as makruh. Piercing the body should be avoiding except for what is normal. A lot of things that people do is an invitation to the ways of the non-believers. Islam reminds us that we should not immitate others in everything, especially the things that may lead to the disgrace of the body, mind and soul”. p.s. Makruh are discouraged acts that are not haram, like piercing a belly button or tongue.
