Q 4: Is it permissible for a woman to pierce her nose and
wear a ring in it? Is it permissible to use the "Shudhar"?
"Shudhar" is a substance that is to be rubbed on hands after using
henna in order to make the henna color black. Is it permissible to use black dye
on the hands, which is called Duge?
A: This question includes three points:
1-
Putting rings in the nose. It is permissible to put rings in the nose, because
piercing the nose is made for beautification purposes, not for harming or
altering the creation of Allah.
2- Rubbing Shudhar on hands after using henna
in order to make the henna color black. The Sunnah indicates that it is
permissible for women to dye their hands with henna, and scholars stated that
it is Mustahab (desirable), and that not doing it is Makruh (disliked). There
is no harm in adding “Shudhar” to it.
3- Based on what is mentioned above, the ruling of using the
black dye, called Duge, is permissible. However, if the Duge is impermeable, it
is obligatory to remove it before Ghusl (ritual bath following major ritual
impurity) taken after Janabah (major ritual impurity related to sexual
discharge), menstruation and postpartum period, and before Wudu' (ablution).
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet
Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
