Salaams

I am not a scolar but somebody had asked the same question and the maulana/ shiekh said that since they were a form of adornment they were not allowed if worn infront of na-mahram man.

YES, i also wear contact lenses for sight. But clear sight for me from my opticians was not available due to my prescription. My eyes are brown and my contacts are brown. It is not visible to anyone and does not attract attention, i would just like to know the ruling

sis well ok now lets be abit logic well If they are the same colour to your eyes then wear them but if they are too too bright then that attracts attention, now on behalf sis my eyes are blue and bright but i was raised from a christain whom had blue eyesy so god created me with them so i do wear clear for sight at times but not colour.
sis i suggess you ask someone who is logic on this info cause i am a revert and sis i don't have a problem with contacts cause in the past i used to wear them too but not anymore but just be careful how you wear them and also when you need to trake them out then thats allowed
w.salam (take care)

InshaAllah this will help you.

Praise be to Allaah.

There are two types of contact lenses:

1. 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.
   
   
2. 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.

Sis don't you think your money would be better spent in investing for the here after? and dont you think it would just create fitnah for guy, I mean I've seen niqabis wear contacts or make up and dang I mean, u know, lol.

What is the difference between wearing a fake eye color and lieing about the color of your eyes?

One difference is that in one your just showing your fashion sense, and in the other your openly expressing that what they see is what you are.

Its the same, essitianly when one wears a jacket which makes them look 'muscly'

Isn't it?

Salam!

I attended a ceromony where the bukhari shareef was nearly on getting finished studied!

Contact lenses came up the maulna said!

If one can tell that the person is wearing contact lenses as in its recongnisable that its contact lenses its allowed if not then it isnt allowed!

and allah knows best

Just wondering, Wa Aleykum Salam

Did he say why he held that view?

I would consider both being identical.

But, that is simply my opinion. I believe we should wear should wear modest clothing and anything that is worn to enhance physical features is not modest in my viewpoint.

Well um, if hair extensions are not allowed (according to the Prophet, SAW), then why would colored eye contacts be?

Then again what if you wear contacts because you can't see, and they're colored, but just because they're colored you can't wear them?

And why is make-up allowed in front of your husband, but a wig or hair extensions is not allowed ever? Weeeeeeeird.

dang I mean, u know, lol.
