Question:
What is the ruling with regards to a Daith Piercing?
A Daith piercing is an ear piercing that passes through the ear’s innermost cartilage fold, the crus of the helix.. According to the medical fraternity in some way it was supposed to assist with headaches.
Answer:
Women generally pierce theirears with the intention of adorning themselves with earrings. The jurists havementioned that this is totally permissible and there is no prohibition in thisregard even if the ear is pierced more than once.
عورتوں کے لئے زیور پہننے کے مقصد سے کان بندوانا مطلقاجائز ہے ، خواہ ایک سوراخ ہو یا اس سے زیادہ ، کسی تعداد کی ممانعت شریعت میں منقول نہیں – کتاب النوازل ص۴۸۳ ج۱۵
الاستفسار : هل يجوز ثقب لنف النساء؟ الاستبشار —ان كانللتزين يجوز كما في ثقب الاذن —-يجوز قياسا علي ثقب الاذن (نفع المفتي والسائلمن مجموعة رسائل اللكهنوي , المتفرقات ص196 ج4)
Piercing is generally carriedout on the outer portion of the ear hence the permissibility of piercing willbe confined to the outer ear. However,if your question pertains particularly to medical treatment, as you have statedin your query; that it is to assist with headaches, and this is the onlytreatment that proves beneficial, then there is no harm in adopting the saidprocedure. However, if it is carried out purely with the intention ofadditional adornment, then there is no need for such a procedure as externalpiercing will suffice for the said objective.
