The ruling on women wearing cosmetic contact lenses

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, she asks: What is the ruling on women wearing cosmetic contact lenses?

Answer:
If the lenses serve a benefit in strengthening vision, such as when her eyesight is weak, these lenses may be worn if the vision is weak. Likewise, if there is a defect in her eyes, she may wear lenses to remove this defect, and there is no harm in that. However, if both eyes are sound and free of defects, wearing the lens is not permissible. This refers to the lens itself. Some women wear lenses that resemble camera eyes, and some wear lenses in the shape of clothing. All of this falls under the category of lenses. The bottom line is that if it is for strengthening vision, there is no harm in it. If it is to remove a defect, there is no harm in it. But if it is for ostentation or for frivolity, we hold that it is not permissible. Yes.
