Question

Regarding piercings on the earlobe, can one have 3 piercings on the earlobe, or is there a limit which cannot be exceeded?

Answer

Women are permitted to pierce the ears more than once for adornment. However, this should not be carried out in emulation of the non-Muslims and evil women. [Re: Kitaab-un-Nawaazil Vol.15 Pg. 482-484]

Ask Ibn Masood

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Ifta Ibn Masood. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
