Colored Contact Lenses: What Is the Ruling on Using Them?

The questioner : Also, a sister is asking on the line, she says: Regarding wearing colored contact lenses for women, with a doctor's consultation.

The Shaykh : There is no harm in it, if Allah wills, as long as the purpose is beautification, on the condition that these lenses do not transfer the eye from a human eye to an animal eye. May Allah reward you.

The questioner : A colored lens in the shape of a rabbit's eye, or a gazelle's eye, or a cat's eye, or something similar to that.

The Shaykh : And what is astonishing—what increases the astonishment—is that some women, due to the lightness of their minds, choose colored lenses of a specific shape that suits the complexion of their face, and then they choose clothes that match those lenses: red, green, yellow, black. In my view, this is foolishness. But choosing lenses for beautification, such as when there is some haziness in the black of the eye, and one chooses a lens to beautify the eye, making it brown, for example, there is no harm in that, on the condition that there is no harm in it. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you, and thank you to the sister who asked.
