The ruling on wearing colored contact lenses and whether they affect wudu'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding colored contact lenses. The last question says: Regarding colored contact lenses, Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on wearing them?
The Shaykh : If the lenses do not change the eye from the eyes of Adam’s descendants, but only change its color from hazel to honey-colored or something similar, there is no harm, provided that the eye is not harmed by this.
The questioner : Regarding wudu', Honorable Shaykh, do they affect wudu'?
The Shaykh : They do not affect it, because the inside of the eye is not washed.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good. Thank you. And likewise for you.
