Wearing cosmetic contact lenses for women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, she asks: What is the ruling on women wearing cosmetic contact lenses?
Answer:
As for contact lenses, if there is a benefit in them for strengthening vision, such as when her vision is weak, these lenses are worn for the weak. Likewise, if there is a defect in her eyes, and the eyes are such that they require wearing lenses to remove this defect, then there is no harm in that. However, if the eyes are sound and have no defect, we do not see that wearing these lenses is permissible. Some women wear lenses that look like camera eyes, and some wear lenses in the shape of the clothes they wear.
The bottom line is that wearing contact lenses: if it is for strengthening vision, there is no harm in that. If it is to remove a defect in the eyes, there is no harm in that. If it is for the sake of adornment or for the sake of play, we hold that this is not permissible. Yes.

May Allah reward you
