Wudhu While Wearing Contact Lenses
Question
Can I make Wudhu with contact lenses on?
Answer
It is permissible to wear contact lenses while performing Wudhu and Fardh Ghusl. Washing one’s eyeballs is not a requisite for the validity of Wudhu and Ghusl. (RE:Fataawa Darul uloom Zakariyya Vol:1 Pg:654)
