The Ruling on Wearing Contact Lenses for Adornment

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This is another questioner asking about the ruling on wearing contact lenses for adornment?

Answer:
Wearing contact lenses for adornment is disliked. However, if it is for a need, such as weak eyesight, there is nothing wrong with it. But if it is for adornment, the adornment lies in keeping the eyes in their beautiful natural form. If there is disfigurement or weak eyesight, there is nothing wrong with wearing contact lenses to remove the disfigurement or to improve vision.
The conclusion is that if there is a need for contact lenses, there is nothing wrong with them. If there is no need, and it is merely to change the color or to imitate others—so that her eyes become blue like the eyes of the Western women—this is not permissible. Or if she makes her eyes the color of her clothing, making their eyes match the color of their clothes, this is also not permissible. Yes.
