Muslim males should not wear ear rings at all. Wearing ear rings is
forbidden for Muslim males for two reasons:
Firstly, wearing ear rings has been generally a female custom and Muslim
males should not imitate the females in their dress, walk and talk, just as
Muslim females should not imitate the males. The Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi
Wasallam) cursed those men who imitate women and those women who imitate
men. (Bukhari; Muslim)
Secondly, the men who wear ear rings are generally people with queer
character. They are mostly homosexuals and morally perverse people. Muslims
should try to resemble good, pious and righteous people. We must inform our
youth who may become attracted to wear earrings that this is against the
teachings of Islam. We should pay more attention to our youth so that they
do not get involved in un-Islamic groups and immoral lifestyles. The youth
may receive such evil influences if they are neglected at home and their
parents do not provide them proper Islamic alternatives.
