The ruling on colored contact lenses worn for adornment

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, are colored contact lenses worn for adornment permissible? It is a matter of consideration.

Answer:
If the eye is healthy, then leaving off the contact lenses is undoubtedly better and more appropriate, because it may be a form of deception and appearing to people in a false guise. Some people make the color of the lenses match the color of their clothes. Some people make the color of the lenses match the color of the eyes of Western women. This imitation is not permissible; it is frivolity. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
