Summary
The 99th Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee (2012) ruled that using ICL lenses for eye treatment, where the lens is made from porcine collagen, is not permitted. Treating illness with forbidden sources is prohibited, with leniency only in cases of necessity (dharurah). The use of this lens is not a case of necessity, and Muslims have many other alternatives that are free of doubt from the Shariah perspective.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
