[PaulRyansew]

I know some women who wear belly button rings and I think it's haram because usually they show it off. But what if a woman were to get her belly button pierced but only showed it to her husband? What if she hides it under hijab? Would it still be haram then?

Answer

Answer

In the name of Allah

It is not permissible to pierce the belly button, or other body parts such as the lips, tongue, eyebrows etc this is not considered an adornment for the Muslim female in Islam. Only the ears and the nose are permissible to pierce and one can find examples of this taking place in the time of Rasullulah and if was not forbidden.
The piercing of the belly button will involve the showing of the Satar which is completely Haram and forbidden in Islam and will constitute a grave sin,on the one showing and on the one looking.

Evidence is found in the Hadith (traditions of Rasullulah ) that the abhorrent sinful women would have such changes, disfigurations and alterations made to their bodies and change Allah’s creation made in order to look beautiful and pleasing to men who used to come to them.

The Hadith narrated by ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ood says that:”

I heard Rasulullah say: “Allah has cursed the woman who does tattoos and the one who has them done, the woman who plucks eyebrows and the one who has it done, and the one who files her teeth for the purpose of beauty, altering the creation of Allah.” (Sahee Al-Bukhari, Sahee Muslim Vol 2)

The warning and curse of Allah in this Hadith is also applicable to belly button and other bodily piercing, other than the ears and nose.

Allah the Almight says in the Quran: “And do not cast yourselves into destruction by your own hands.” (Al-Baqarah: Verse 195)

“And I (Satan) will surely lead them astray, and arouse desires in them, and command them so that they will cut the cattle’s ears, and I will surely command them and they will change Allah’s creation.’ Whoever chooses the Devil for a friend instead of Allah is assuredly a loser, and his loss is manifest.” (An-Nisa’: Verse 119)

3. To have other body parts pierced other than the ears and nose is mutilation (muthlah) of the human body which is forbidden in Islam. Both the person having it done and the doer will be in sin. Mutilation of this sort will indeed cause a great deal of harm to the body. It is highly possible that it could be a means of infection to cause irreversible harm to the body. This is not promoted in Islam but forbidden.

4. It is also an imitation of the Non-Muslims (who invented this act and made it into a fashion) and has been highly popularized by actors and actresses as an object of beauty. In light of this it will be “tashabuh” (imitation) of a non-Muslim nation.

Rasullulah Salaam Alaihi Wassalam has said, “”Whosoever impersonates a nation (other than Islam) will be (resurrected) from them on the day of judgment“. (Sunan Abu Dawud)

Therefore, in conclusion one can say that it is strongly advised to avoid piercing the belly button and various other parts of the body, with the ears and nose been exempted from this. It is also Haram to open ones Satar to anyone (other than that husband or a female physician or for other medical reasons) and doing so will incur great sin upon the person.

In addition it is forbidden for males to pierce any part of their bodies.

Belly Button Piercing
I have read the answer regarding belly button piercing which refers to showing off the pierced parts. My husband actually wants me to have my belly button pierced because he would like me to wear some jewelry there. I want to know if it is ok to have my belly button pierced for my husband and not for showing off.

Answer

Bismillah

Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah’s guidance)

It is not permissible to pierce any part of the body other than the ears and the nose for women.

The scholars limited the permissibility of piercing the body to the ears and nose . [Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar]

Piercing is considered mutilation [muthla] of the body which is unlawful in Islam.

Hence, it would not be permissible to pierce the lip, belly button etc, since that is not considered the adornment for any decent women. [Radd al-Muhtar 5:270]

Therefore, to pierce the lip, belly button, nipples etc, is Haraam even for the pleasure of the husband or ordered by him.

“And do not cooperate in sinfulness and transgression. Have fear of Allah, for Allah is Stern in retribution.” (5:2)

And Only Allah Ta’ala Knows Best.

So even if a female doctor performs the piercing and the woman recieving it, only shows it to her husband, it's still haram? I mean I understand that since this was practiced especially by the Kuffar before Islam, but then you could say that about many types of clothing, right? Like jeans and polo shirts. A lot of Muslims wear them, but they were designed and made by non-Muslims. A lot of the food we eat like biriyani (especially if you're from a desi culture) are shared with other religions (even Hinduism). That would mean that type of clothing and food is haram?

No. Its not haram...

What are your qualifications to give this 'fatwa'?

Can you prove your statement from Quran and Hadith?

[Alex Photographer]

Can a woman pierce her belly button?

Question:

I want to know if it is permissible for a female to pierce her nose and belly button?

Answer:

It is not permissible for a female to pierce her belly button as this is the practice of loose and immoral women.

A Muslim woman is by nature, shameful, modest and bashful.

It is permissible for a female to pierce her ears and nose. (Raddul Muhtaar)

وهل يجوز الخزام في الأنف ، لم أره( قوله الخلخال ) كبلبال ويسمى خلخلا ويضم قاموس ( قوله للصبي ) أي الذكر لأنه من زينة النساء ط ( قوله والطفل ) ظاهره أن المراد به الذكر مع أن ثقب الأذن لتعليق القرط ، وهو من زينة النساء ، فلا يحل للذكور ، والذي في عامة الكتب ، وقدمناه عن التتارخانية : لا بأس بثقب أذن الطفل من البنات وزاد في الحاوي القدسي : ولا يجوز ثقب آذان البنين فالصواب إسقاط الواو ( قوله لم أره ) قلت : إن كان مما يتزين النساء به كما هو في بعض البلاد فهو فيها كثقب القرط ا هـ ط وقد نص الشافعية على جوازه مدني

Q: Is a belly ring permissable?

A: No, it is not permissible. It is imitating the kuffaar and fujjaar (irreligious), hence it should be avoided.

[ggdfgtdfffhfyj]

Question:

Is it permissable for a woman to have her navel pierced just for the pleasure of her husband? What if she already has one, does that mean she has to remove it?

Answer:

bismillah.png
It is permitted for a woman to have her navel pierced for her husband so long as women (pious practicing Muslim females) have adopted it by way of Urf or custom somewhere. It comes under beautification that the Shariah has allowed for women. There was a time when women never used to pierce their noses and it was not considered lawful for a woman to do so. Later, however, jurists such as Imam Ibn Aabideen, declared it permissable, on the basis that the custom or Urf of women in some Muslim lands in beautifying themselves was to do this, and thus it could be considered essentially the same as making a hole in the ear for earrings. Rad al-Muhtar, Kitab al-Hazr wal-Ibahah, vol.9 p.602.

The same is true it would seem for piercing the navel in our age. Having said this, one should also remember that, it will only be permitted with the condition the piercing is done without revealing one's awrah in front of those it is not lawful to.

Finally, it should also be noted, though piercing the navel is allowed with the above condition, the same is not the case for other parts of the body for several reasons, such as, no Urf being found for those parts, or it causes excessive harm to the female body, the issue of hygiene and resembling indecent lewd women.

can someone please clarify the highlighted part.

and if this is indeed the case, then shouldnt our scholars not be so quick to condemn belly button piercings and label them as out right haram?

[unmalryAlalry]

or atleast come with some proof showing why nose rings are permisable.

That's the thing, the scholars are just following what the Madhab says, but as for how convincing the arguments are for Tahreem, they are not convincing at all.

but what does the madhab say?

from what i have gathered, the madhab says that it all depends on the custom of the locality. and if this is the case, then why have they issued a blanket fatwa saying that it is haram?

I have also never understood the arguments, it is refreshing to know I am not the only one. While my understanding does not mean it is incorrect or that I will not follow it, it would be nice to understand the arguments.

Mutilating the body is subjective isn't it, unless it is explicitly stated in hadeeth like the tattoos. Mutilating the body can be regarded with nose rings and ears too after all you are making holes in your body, what is the difference with the belly button?

There is never going to be correct answer for this.

If a belly ring is considered mutilating the body then so is an ear ring and a nose ring...

If a belly ring is considered "changing the creation of Allah", then so is an ear ring and a nose ring and most forms of makeup...

If a belly ring is considered "imitating the Kouffar", then so is wearing any type of clothing or a wrist watch or pretty much anything you can think of... What is meant by NOT imitating the Kouffar is for example not to wear crosses, not to wear specific religious clothing they have, or wearing un-Islamic types of clothing that revealed the body parts , and not to celebrate their holidays ect... As for the Sahaba (ra) they used to travel as merchants in non-Muslim lands and they'd wear the clothing of the people of that land, this is not considered imitating Kouffar.

[peemovvie]

So even if the woman shows her navel piercing to her husband only, it still could be considered haram because it's altering a person's nature? So what if you had to get an organ transplant or something? You're saving lives...possibly Muslim lives even but because it kind of changes Allah's (SWT) creation, it would still be considered haram?

[valentinesdayyy]

but what does the madhab say?

from what i have gathered, the madhab says that it all depends on the custom of the locality. and if this is the case, then why have they issued a blanket fatwa saying that it is haram?

I see that the scholars quoted by the brothers have an agreement on this, so it must be the official position of the Madhab, in this case you need to follow it regardless of your opinion.

Their strongest argument would be to prove that belly rings are harmful to the body, and may likely cause infections, but i have no idea.

Salam,

Don't dive into complicated topics, if you are a Hanafi, then you have to follow the Fatwas above which I assume are by Hanafi scholars.

If you are not a Hanafi, then you just saw some or all of the proofs for the scholars who consider it impermissible, as you can see there is nothing specific in Islam about this issue, so it's up to you I guess to weight things in your brain and take a decision, or preferably look more into this matter and ask many more scholars from various schools to see if you get any other reasons.
