Husband . Ear . Hadith . Earring . Body Piercing

I have a question regarding ear piercing for my husband. I have asked him to consider it, as it doesn't relate to imitating non-Muslims or women. Are there any Hadith specifically warning men against wearing earrings?

Bismihi ta'āla

This topic has been addressed here a few times. What we can clearly say is that it is definitely culturally unacceptable for Muslim men to do this, and this would be enough for a male to refrain from having earrings.

Ear . Head . Hijab . Plastic Surgery

I have an upcoming ear surgery for which it is necessary for me to refrain from wearing anything on my head during the procedure. Would it be considered allowed for me to completely remove my Hijab due to this necessary requirement?

Bismihi ta'ala

If it is a necessary procedure, and you have no control over the medical staff all being females, then you are allowed to undergo the surgery. Just try to ask the nurse or an accompanying family member to try and cover you as much as they can.

May Allah ta'ala grant you shifa` and speedy recovery.

And Allah knows best.

Ghusl . Ear

What are considered the inner and outer parts of the ear in Ghusl?

Bismihi ta'ala

The necessary part to wash in the ear in a Ghusl is simply the parts exposed and accessible, and nothing more. Just allowing water to run down it would be enough and valid.

And Allah knows best.
