Is It Allowed to take Money For Piercing Nose and Ears?

Is it allowed to take money for piercing nose and ears?

Question 1: What do the blessed scholars of Islam and Muftis of the blessed Shari’ah state regarding the following matter; is it permissible to take money for piercing the nose and ears of girls? Questioner: Ghulam Rabbani ‘Attari (Kotli, Kashmir)

بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ

Answer: Taking money for piercing the nose and ears of girls is permissible because, according to the blessed Shari’ah, it is permissible to have the nose and ears of women pierced. Since it is permissible for them to have their nose and ears pierced, it is also permissible for anyone else to pierce these organs and to take money for it.

However, remember that it is impermissible, Haraam, and a sin for a non-Mahram[1] man to look at the ear or to touch any part of the body of a Baalighah[2] girl or a Na-Baalighah Mushtahat[3] girl for this purpose. It is not permissible to look at those body parts of a non-Mahram woman which are included in Sitr[4] nor is it allowed to touch any part of her body. Even if the nose and ears of a Mushtahat girl have to be pierced, the same ruling will apply. However, if there is a very small girl who has not reached the age of being a Mushtahat, there will be a different ruling in this case.  وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ وَ رَسُوْلُہٗ اَعْلَم صلَّی اللہ علیہ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم

Are women allowed to offer Salat-ut-Tasbih with Jama’at?

Question 2: What do the blessed scholars of Islam and Muftis of the blessed Shari’ah state regarding the following matter; are women allowed to offer Salat-ut-Tasbih collectively together, i.e. one of them leads the Jama’at and others offer Salah following her in Jama’at? Is it allowed to do so? Questioner: Sher Zaman Attari (Morgah, Rawalpindi)

بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ

Answer: Besides offering Fard and Wajib Salahs, offering Nafl Salahs abundantly is also a means of attaining closeness to Allah and numerous other virtues indeed. On the Day of Judgement, even the shortage of Faraid will be completed through Nawafil.

However, remember that it is not permissible for women to offer Salat-ut-Tasbih or any Salah with Jama’at. This is because the Jama’at of Salah led by a woman is unconditionally Makruh-e-Tahreemi; regardless of whether it is Fard Salah, Salat-ut-Tasbih, or any other Nafl Salah; and no matter whether the Imam stands in the middle of the first row or further ahead, it is Makruh in every situation. In fact, the element of disliking will increase twice as much if she stands ahead to lead them in Salah.  وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ وَ رَسُوْلُہٗ اَعْلَم صلَّی اللہ علیہ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم

Ruling on woman listening to the Ayah of Sajdah during her monthly cycle

Question 3: What do the blessed scholars of Islam and Muftis of the blessed Shari’ah state regarding the following matter? One Islamic sister teaches the Holy Quran to small girls at home. While revising their lesson, if children recite the Ayah of Sajdah in the presence of the teacher who is having her monthly cycle; will it be compulsory for her to perform Sajdah-e-Tilawat? What will be the ruling if a Baalighah girl recites the Ayah of Sajdah and what will be the ruling if a Na-Baalighah girl recites the Ayah of Sajdah? 

بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ

Answer: In the situation mentioned in the question, the Sajdah-e-Tilawat will not become compulsory for that Islamic sister in case of listening to the Ayah of Sajdah during her monthly cycle. No matter whether a woman having monthly cycle recites the Ayah of Sajdah herself (Note: A woman having monthly cycle is not allowed to recite any verse of the Holy Quran) or listens to it from somebody else; and regardless of whether the reciter is Baaligh or Na-Baaligh, the Sajdah-e-Tilawat will not become compulsory for such a woman in any way.
