Question

Is ear piercing on the top of the ear on the flesh not the cuff permissible?

Answer

The ear piercing that is practised by Muslims now and of the past that is the correct method of ear piercing. Other types of piercing are not in keeping with the ways of Muslims of the past and present. Hence one should abstain.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
