Summary
Wearing contact lenses, coloured or not, is permissible when needed for medical reasons, taking into account the advice of a qualified doctor. For adornment, the basic ruling is permissible provided the lenses do not harm the eyes, involve no deception or showing off, involve no wastefulness and do not resemble animal eyes. If these conditions are not met, wearing them can become forbidden. Although permissible, the fatwa leans towards the view that it is better to avoid coloured lenses to stay clear of deception and wastefulness.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berdasarkan keterangan di atas, sekiranya penggunaan kanta lekap itu bagi tujuan perubatan maka ianya dibolehkan sama ada berwarna ataupun tidak berwarna.
