The used of contact lens for eyes during fasting is it ok or not b/c u konw lens dip in eye clean slution? plz tell m ein detail thx.
Praise be to Allaah.
It is permissible to use contact lenses when fasting, and the
fact that they are first placed in a cleansing solution does not matter,
because the worst that can happen is that some of this solution leaks into
the eye. Thus it is like eye drops, and eye drops do not invalidate the
fast, according to the correct scholarly opinion.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen
(may Allaah have mercy on him) said: There is nothing wrong with a fasting
person using kohl, or putting drops in his eyes, or putting drops in his
ears; even if he notices the taste of that in his throat, that does not
invalidate his fast, because it is not food or drink, and is not like food
or drink. The evidence forbids eating and drinking, and that does not
include things that are not like food or drink. What we have mentioned is
the view favoured by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on
him) and it is the correct view. End quote.
