I was told by my parents years ago that it is permissable to pierce your nose as long as you wear a niqab and only let ur mahrams and family see it no non mahrams and strangers etc because you r not mutilating ur body ..what is the scholarly concensous on this...inshallah if cud be answerd asap i would be very gratefull...seeing as i have my nose pierced and would like to know if its permissable or not so that i can take it out if its not permissable.

Below is a fatwa by Sheikh Uthaimeen regarding Nose Piercing:
Shaykh Muhammad al-Saalih al-żUthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about piercing a girlsż nose or ear for the sake of beautification.
He replied:
The correct view is that there is nothing wrong with piercing the ear, because one of the aims that is achieved by that is wearing permissible jewellery. It is known that the women of the Sahaabah had earrings that they wore in their ears. The pain is light, and if the piercing is done when the girl is small, it heals quickly.
With regard to piercing the nose, I do not remember that the scholars said anything about it, but it is a kind of mutilation and deforming of the appearance as we see it, but perhaps others do not see it that way. If a woman is in a country where putting jewellery in the nose is seen as a kind of adornment and beautification, there is nothing wrong with piercing the nose.
