The Ruling on Women Wearing Contact Lenses
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on women wearing contact lenses for the purpose of zina (unlawful sexual intercourse)?
Answer:
For the purpose of adornment, no. However, if the eye is sound in its sight and sound in its nature and creation, it is not permissible to wear contact lenses because there is no need for them. But if wearing contact lenses is for a need, either due to weak eyesight or because the eye is defective and she wants to remove this defect, then there is no harm in that. Wearing them for a need is fine, but wearing them solely for adornment is not.
