I don't believe it's Haram for men to wear earrings why would it be Haram although the custom generally in the medieval ages was that men did not generally wear earrings but boys did and to the extent that it was even transmitted that even in the hadith the that when a child is born when the boy is born on the seventh day in some of the rewire he says well you hell up and he's given an earring to wear and and this is why a lot of the boys wore earrings and even when Imam Malik is

0:37

asked that wash if a boy is wearing an earring out of gold is that right or wrong and he says that they shouldn't wear gold but he doesn't condemn them for wearing the earring and to the extent that some of the people transmit the imam malik son used to have an earring so hey but i guess it's not the general culture i recognize that but it's not haram
