Thank you for your responses, may Allah reward you.
On an unrelated note, I am relatively new to the religion and before my reversion I started wearing studs (not gold) on my ears. I've heard differences of opinion between twelver and sunni scholars on this issue, mostly because its prohibition is based on whether it resembles women or not. Since I live in the west, most males my age have piercings so it's not considered cross-dressing. Do I have to remove them as a practicing Muslim according to Zaydi fiqh?
