The ruling on women wearing cosmetic contact lenses

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, she asks: What is the ruling on women wearing cosmetic contact lenses?

Answer:
If contact lenses are used to strengthen weak vision, that is permissible; wearing them is like wearing glasses when one's vision is weak. Likewise, if there is a blemish in her eyes, wearing contact lenses to remove that blemish is permissible. However, if the eyes are sound and free of blemish, we do not see the permissibility of wearing contact lenses, because this falls under the category of adornment.
Some women wear contact lenses that resemble the eyes of disbelieving women, and some wear them in the shape of clothing. This is all frivolity. The bottom line is that wearing contact lenses to strengthen vision is permissible, and wearing them to remove a defect in the eyes is permissible. But if it is for the sake of fashion or for the sake of frivolity, we hold that it is not permissible. Yes.
