Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It was asked from Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that if a person makes a vow that he will pierce his nose (like a nose ring), he replied that he should offer the expiation for his oath.

Hazrat Abu Jamrah narrates that a man from Banu Salim made a vow that he would pierce his nose (like a nose-ring). Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said: There are two types of vows; so, the one that is for Allah should be fulfilled, and the one that is for Satan, its expiation should be given. Remove your bridle and pay the expiation for your oath.

Hazrat Usman bin Ghiyath narrates that I asked Hazrat Jabir bin Zaid about a person who made a vow that he would wear a gold ring (by piercing). He replied: As long as he does so, that person will continue to be sinful, so instruct him to offer expiation for his oath.

Hasan was asked about a person who made a vow that he would pierce his nose (so that a bridle or halter could be put through it) and perform Hajj on foot. He replied that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade mutilation, so he should remove it from himself, perform Hajj while riding, and offer a camel as sacrifice.

Hazrat Tawoos says that in Islam, there is no (practice of) putting a nose-ring, making a circle of hair, or wailing. (Khuzamah says that the circle of hair is what is put in the nostril of a camel and to it the bridle is tied.)
