Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Are the contact lenses that a woman puts in her eyes for the sake of adornment a change of Allah’s creation?
Answer:
Yes, it is not permissible to wear contact lenses except out of necessity. If it is for the sake of treatment, there is nothing wrong with it. As for wearing them for the sake of adornment, the adornment lies in the eyes remaining as they are. However, wearing them out of necessity, such as to strengthen eyesight or because there is a defect in the eye and she wants to cover it, there is nothing wrong with that. But if the eye is sound, its remaining as it is is the beauty and adornment, and changing it is a change of the creation of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
