Yes, it is permissible as long as it is not considered mutilation, which is determined by whether it goes against the local custom or norm. piercings, body modification, custom, permissibility, mutilation, fiqh ruling https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RPJeDvZPBCU
So yes, inshallah, this is fine. The general principle with regards to any piercings is that as long as it's not considered to be what's known as mutilating one's body, then it will be fine. So how do we know if something's mutilating one's body? If it goes against what's the norm or the custom in your area, then it would be considered to be something out of the ordinary and potentially mutilating one's body. So piercings such as ear piercings, nose piercings, and so on, they're within the norm. There's no real difference of opinion whether you're in one country or another. It's generally considered to be the norm. So inshallah, that would be fine. But just be aware that other piercings, they may vary depending on where you are in the world and what the norm or the custom of the Muslims are in that particular area.
