What is the ruling on a woman wearing contact lenses for the purpose of adorning herself for her husband?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh: What is the ruling on wearing contact lenses for a woman?
The Shaykh : What is the ruling?
The questioner : What is the ruling on a woman wearing contact lenses if this is for the sake of adorning herself for her husband?
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with wearing contact lenses, provided that there is no harm in doing so. The reference for this is the opinion of the doctor; if he says there is no harm, then there is nothing wrong with it.
The second condition is that the lens not be one that makes the eye resemble the eye of an animal. It was reported to me that some women wear a lens that resembles the eye of a gazelle, not the eye of a rabbit, not the eye of a cat, and some of them choose the lens according to the clothes they are wearing: if she wears white, she gets a white lens; if blue, a blue lens. This is not permissible. However, if it is for the beauty of the eye, such as if there is some dullness in the black of her eye and she wants to wear an amber-colored lens to beautify it, then there is nothing wrong with it, provided the doctors determine that there is no harm. Yes.
