We, Shia Muslims believe that with out following the real Sunnah of the Prophet (SAWA) no one can be a real Muslim. Rejecting the Prophetic Sunnah means rejecting Quran because of the orders of Allah in Quran to obey the Prophet (Sura An-Nisaa' 59 and Sura Al-Maa'idah 92 and Sura An-Noor 54 and 56, and Sura Muhammad 33, and Sura Al-Taghaabun 12.
'Allah (SWT) Stated in Quran (He who obeys the Messenger, has indeed obeyed Allah) Sura An-Nisa 80.
The main point here is the authenticity of the narrations of the Sunnah. We don't take the narrations from liars or wrongdoers as part of the real Sunnah. We follow the most authentic narrations from the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) which came through Ahlul Bayt (AS) and the authentic narrators.
Many narrations were fabricated by wrong governments and their servants for justifying their wrong deeds, still claimed to be from the Sunnah. Muslims really need to be careful in calling narrations as part of Sunnah before assessing the narration and all the narrators.
'A well known Sunni Aalim (Scholar) Dr Tijani Smawi wrote a book after studying and comparing Sunni and Shia books of Hadeeth, stating that the Shia are the real followers of the Sunnah. الشيعة هم أهل السنة. This book is available in many websites. This Sunni scholars has become A Shia and written many books which guided thousands of Muslims to the real Islam of Ahlul Bayt (AS). The I was Guided is one of his famous books.
No, it will not be rewarding. It could be haram as well, as in most, if not all Muslim societies this is unacceptable and socially inappropriate. In our Islamic law, it is called "libas al-shuhrah", which means dressing or wearing something that will invite criticism, negative comments, accusations, or ruining of reputation.
In general, a male wearing earrings does definitely fall under the category of libas al-shuhrah, which means it would be haram.
If it is confirmed that the Imam (a.s.) did have his ear pierced as a child, it does not mean he wore earrings, or kept on wearing it as an adult. We do not have any evidence for that.
And, even if it was done then, for argument sake, it might have been something common then, like men having kohl on their eyes as well, but now, it is uncommon and unpracticed, especially among religious people.
