Is Double Ear Piercing Permissible in Islam?

26 November, 2023
Q As-Salamu alaykum. Is there anything wrong with me piercing my ear twice? This is to decorate myself only and nothing else.

Answer

Wa `alaykum As-Salamu waRahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. 

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.


In this fatwa:

There is no harm on the woman piercing her ear to hang an earring in it. As for that being one hole (i.e. piercing) or two, this is a matter of social norms.

Answering your question, Dr. Salah Al-Sawy, Secretary-General of the Assembly of Muslim Jurists in America (AMJA), states:

There is no harm on the woman piercing her ear to hang an earring in it. As for that being one hole (i.e. piercing) or two, this is a matter of social norms, and so it changes with the customs and tastes of the environment.

The default is that she can do what is customarily accepted in her culture and is not to mimic the unchaste women that sway in every direction with regard to these matters.

Allah Almighty knows best.
