Yes, according to Islamic rulings, tongue piercing is considered haram (forbidden).
Here's why:
-
Alteration of Allah's Creation: According to the reference, it is not permissible for a man or woman to pierce his or her tongue as this constitutes changing or altering Allah's creation. This is considered a violation of the natural form given by Allah.
-
Harm to the Body: The reference also states that it harms the body, as many studies highlight the harmful effect of this act. Piercing the tongue can lead to various health problems:
- Infections
- Nerve damage
- Difficulties in speech and swallowing
- Damage to teeth
- Allergic reactions to metals
Therefore, due to the alteration of Allah's creation and the potential health risks, tongue piercing is deemed impermissible in Islam.
