"What is the ruling on a woman piercing her nose and displaying its adornment to non-Mahrams? "
If it is customary for Muslim women to adorn themselves with a nose piercing, then there is no objection to it, as it can be likened to ear piercing for earrings. However, displaying this adornment to non-mahram men is a matter of scholarly disagreement, based on the different interpretations of the visible adornment mentioned in the verse: {And let them not display their beauty except what is apparent thereof}. Various interpretations have been reported from Ibn Abbas, Ibn Umar, Ibn Mas'ud, and Abu Huraira regarding this verse. Some scholars have interpreted visible adornment as the face and hands, others as clothing, and some as jewelry such as rings and anklets. And Allah knows best.
