Riyadh: A Saudi religious scholar advised Muslim women not to wear coloured contact lenses unless prescribed for medical reasons, according to Almowaten.
Council of Senior Scholars member Shaikh Abdulla Al Manea said that Muslim women should not wear coloured contact lenses for beauty and adornment.
Speaking in the "Fatwa" programme aired on the first TV channel, he said that wearing lenses for non-medical reason amounts to tampering with God’s creation.
He added that Muslim women who wear contact lenses imitated non-Muslim women, and claimed that contact lenses also cause eye diseases.
