Question

I would like to inquire about the Islamic ruling on ear piercing for ladies. Are they allowed to have more than one ear piercing on one ear?

Answer

Women are permitted to pierce the ears more than once for adornment. However, this should not be carried out in emulation of non-Muslim and evil women.
