Question:

Wearing of contact lens when fasting, which are normally dipped in chemical for disinfections.

Fatwa:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, may Allah exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

Putting contact lens on one's eyes does not make fast void even if they have been dipped into chemicals, especially if one is in need of them to see clearly.

Allah knows best.
