Summary
The Perak Fatwa Committee ruled that genital piercing is haram for Muslim men and women, and those who do it commit a sin. The person must remove the piercing items and repent promptly. The fatwa also advises avoiding prayer led by an imam known to have a genital piercing, since a clearly forbidden act leads to fasiq status.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
