Is it permissible to pray while wearing colored contact lenses or glasses?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no objection to praying with colored contact lenses or glasses, unless the glasses prevent the worshipper from placing their forehead and nose firmly on the ground during prostration. In such a case, they must be removed before prayer or at the time of prostration, based on the hadith: "I was commanded to prostrate on seven bones: on the forehead - and he pointed with his hand to his nose - and the two hands, and the two knees, and the ends of the two feet."
