Is tongue piercing haram?

Published in Islamic Body Modifications 1 min read

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.
