Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Ta'aala Wa Barakatuh. Help me by answering my question. I would like to take your opinion, is there anything wrong with me piercing my ear twice. This is to decorate myself only and nothing else. I am a Muhajabah (veiled woman) in front of foreigners. Benefit us, may Allaah benefit you. Thank you, Wassalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Ta'aala Wa Barakatuh.

In the name of Allaah, the Benevolent, the Merciful. All praise is due to Allaah, and peace and blessings be upon the messenger of Allaah, upon his family, companions, and those loyal to him. 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 regards to these matters. And Allaah, the Most High, knows best.
