Eye Health

[intelligent1965]

A friend has recently started to sell contact lenses business does anyone have some usefule information on what the Prophet (pbuh) said about the mystery of the eyes.

For example we have the proverb that the eyes are the windows of the soul?

JZK

[amna_mirza]

Islam does say that on the day of the judgment the eyes will speak. So they will tell Allah what the owner of those eyes use to look at. The eyes will testify in front of Allah just like the rest of the body parts would

[FatimaAsSideqah]

Praise be to Allaah.

There are two types of contact lenses:

Ophthalmic contact lenses: those that are used to correct long- or short-sightedness etc. There is nothing wrong with using this kind of contact lenses on the advice of a specialist eye-doctor.

Coloured cosmetic contact lenses: these come under the rulings on adornment. If a woman wears them for her husband, there is nothing wrong with it. If she is wearing them where others will see her too, then it should not cause any fitnah or temptation. There is also the condition that they should not cause any harm, and there should be no element of cheating or deceiving, such as a woman wearing them when she meets the man who is proposing marriage to her. Also, they should not be extravagantly expensive, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “… and waste not by extravagance…” [al-An’aam 6:141].

And Allaah knows best.

Allah Ta'ala will seal his mouth, and his body parts include eyes instead will testify against him.

“That Day, We will seal over their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will testify about what they used to earn.” (Quran 36:65)
