Shaikh Bin Baz rahimahullah was asked:
Question: What is the ruling on piercing the nose for women and is it correct or is it an innovation? And the one who does not do this, is she sinning? We hope can clarify the ruling for us? May Allah reward you
Answer: “We do not know of any harm in this, rather this is from the jewelry that the women use. Piercing the nose and ear is what the women do to wear jewelry. So there is no harm in it, inshallah, and it is not obligatory”.

Shaikh Abdul-Muhsin al-‘Abbad hafidhuhallah was asked:
Question: Some women pierce their nose and place jewelry in it. Is this allowed?
Answer: “If the custom of the women is to beautify with this, then there is no harm. It will be like an earring. This was present in the times before; however, it has been left off in this time”.
