Are Color-Changing Contact Lenses Halal?

Q: It has been brought to my attention by a very close friend that there are contact lenses on the market, which if you wear it, your eye color changes, will this be Jaiz cause we are changing something which Allah Ta’ala has given us as a bounty.

A: If there is a valid reason to use these contact lenses, it will be permissible.

لأن الأصل في الأشياء الإباحة (الاشباه والنظائر 1/302)

وكذا كل تداو لا يجوز إلا بطاهر (الدر المختار 6/389)
