Fatwa #236822 February 2001United Kingdom
Can a person wear colored contact lenses? Why are there so many views?Which is the correct opinion?
Answer
If contact lenses are prescribed by an Optometrist due to medical reasons,
it is permissible. It is permissible for a female to beautify herself only
for her husband with contact lenses. If there is a possibility of any
deception by wearing contact lenses, for example, a boy seeing a girl with
the intention of marriage, then she cannot wear coloured contact lenses. It
is not permissible for a male to beautify himself with coloured contact
lenses.
