Question

We are Baaligh women, and our ears are not pierced yet. Now we wish to have our ears pierced, but we cannot find a single lady to do it for us. In this situation, can we get our ears pierced by a male?

Answer

It will not be permissible to have the ears pierced by a male. You should wait until a female is found to pierce your ears.
