I would like to know if it's haram or not to pierce ones belly? Jazakallah Khaiun

Answer

As long as the piercing does not mutilate the body and your intention is the beautification for your husband then it can be considered as permissible. But if your intention is to do as the young girls of the west are doing for the sake of exposing their bodies so that all and sundry may view then this act is Haraam. As stated by Nabi (SAW) verily action is judged by their intentions.
