Tongue piercing
Question
I have a question. I really want to get my tongue pierced. I would clean it very well everyday several times a day and I would remove it when going to mosque or prayer. I want it for myself no one else, would this be ok?
Answer
This is not permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
