إِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ سَعْيِكَ وَ أَنْتَ مُتَمَتِّعٌ فَقَصِّرْ مِنْ شَعْرِكَ مِنْ جَوَانِبِهِ وَ لِحْيَتِكَ وَ خُذْ مِنْ شَارِبِكَ وَ قَلِّمْ أَظْفَارَكَ وَ أَبْقِ مِنْهَا لِحَجِّكَ وَ إِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ أَحْلَلْتَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْ‌ءٍ يُحِلُّ مِنْهُ الْمُحْرِمُ وَ أَحْرَمْتَ مِنْهُ فَطُفْ بِالْبَيْتِ تَطَوُّعاً مَا شِئْتَ.[1]

“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When you complete your Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al- Marwah and you are for al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous), you must do Taqsir (cutting some hair or finger nails and so on). Cut certain amount of your hairs from the sides and beard, take from your mustache, and cut something from

‘He must take Ghusl (bath) for Ihram and say Talbiyah for al-Hajj, then go for his work and if he cannot return to Makkah he must go straight to ‘Arafat.’”

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from Yunus ibn Ya’qub who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of a woman who experiences Hayd (menses) and wants to assume the state of Ihram. He (the Imam) said, ‘She must take Ghusl (bath), a

سُئِلَ عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ حَاضَتْ وَ هِيَ تُرِيدُ الْإِحْرَامَ فَتَطْمَثُ قَالَ تَغْتَسِلُ وَ تَحْتَشِي بِكُرْسُفٍ وَ تَلْبَسُ ثِيَابَ الْإِحْرَامِ وَ تُحْرِمُ فَإِذَا كَانَ اللَّيْلُ خَلَعَتْهَا وَ لَبِسَتْ ثِيَابَهَا الْأُخَرَ حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ.

‘She must take Ghusl (bath), fill her uterus with cotton, wear the cloth of Ihram, during the night take them off and use normal clothes until she is clean of her Hayd (menses).”’

الْمَرْأَةُ الْمُتَمَتِّعَةُ إِذَا قَدِمَتْ مَكَّةَ ثُمَّ حَاضَتْ تُقِيمُ مَا بَيْنَهَا وَ بَيْنَ التَّرْوِيَةِ فَإِنْ طَهُرَتْ طَافَتْ بِالْبَيْتِ وَ سَعَتْ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَطْهُرْ إِلَى يَوْمِ التَّرْوِيَةِ اغْتَسَلَتْ وَ احْتَشَتْ ثُمَّ سَعَتْ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَتْ إِلَى مِنًى فَإِذَا قَضَتِ الْمَنَاسِكَ وَ زَارَتِ الْبَيْتَ طَافَتْ بِالْبَيْتِ طَوَافاً لِعُمْرَ

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If a woman who is for al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous), enters Makkah and experiences Hayd (menses), she must wait until al-Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajjah); if she becomes clean, she must perform Tawaf around the House and Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah. She must take Ghusl (

“When you, on the day al-Tarwiyah, decide to assume the state of Ihram, you should do what you had done when assuming the state of Ihram. You should trim your mustache, your finger nails, apply paste to remove your pubic hairs if there are any and pluck out the hairs of your under-arms. Take Ghusl (bath) and wear the t

“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who enters Makkah in the company of women whom he instructs to perform al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) to enjoy the advantage one or two or three days before al-Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajj ah) and is afraid about certain ones among them for experiencing Hayd (menses

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When in the morning you are ready to move toward ‘Arafat, say this prayer, ‘O Lord, I have turned to You, depend on You and for Your sake I act.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The Ghusl (bath) on the day of ‘Arafah, is at Zawal (declining of the sun toward the west at noontime) and you must perform al-Zuhr and al-‘Asr Salat (prayer) together with one Adhan and two ‘Iqamah.’”

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about Ghusl (bath) when visiting the House from Mina’. He (the Imam) said, ‘I take Ghusl (bath) in Mina’; then visit the House.’ ”

“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about Ghusl (bath) of Ziyarah, he does Ghusl during the night and visits (the House) with one Ghusl, is that sufficient?“ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is sufficient as long as things invalidating wudu does not take place, and if something as such takes place, one must take Ghusl again dur

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is very proper that one for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) visits the House on the day of al-Nahr (slaughtering the offering, 10th of Dhu al- Hajjah) or during this night and must not delay. ‘“(Fatwa best explains Hadith 1-3 of this Chapter)

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘You may perform Tawaf of Ziyarat on the tenth of Dhu al-Hajjah. If you cannot find time, you can perform it the next day. One who performs al-Hajj al- Tamattu‘ should not delay; but one who performs al-Mufrid al-Hajj may delay it. On the tenth, when you come to the House, stand up on

“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous), saying , ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, if he can visit the House, perform Tawaf of al-Hajj, then Tawaf al-Nisa’, then Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah. He (the Imam) said, ‘Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwa

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘We may happen to be in Makkah or al-Madinah or al-Hirah, or in such places where there is hope that there is a degree of excellence for being there. If one goes out for Wudu’, can, in such case, another person come and occupy his place?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If one finds a place he

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If one feels lazy to cleansing himself and to take wudu’ for Salat (prayer), there is nothing good in him in regards to his affairs in the hereafter. One who feels lazy in organizing his living conditions, there is nothing good in him for his worldly life.’”

“About the case of a woman whose blood discharge stops in the end of Hayd (menses), he (the Imam) said, ‘If her husband has an intense desire he must instruct her to wash her vulva, then he can touch it before Ghusl (bath) if he wants.’”

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْحَائِضِ تَرَى الطُّهْرَ وَ يَقَعُ بِهَا زَوْجُهَا قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ وَ الْغُسْلُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a woman experiencing Hayd (menses) who finds herself clean and her husband goes to bed with her. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not unlawful but taking Ghusl (bath) is more likeable to me.’”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‌ طَهِّرُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ يَوْمَ السَّابِعِ فَإِنَّهُ أَطْيَبُ وَ أَطْهَرُ وَ أَسْرَعُ لِنَبَاتِ اللَّحْمِ وَ إِنَّ الْأَرْضَ تَنْجَسُ مِنْ بَوْلِ الْأَغْلَفِ أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحاً.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah. O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘Cleanse (circumcise) your children on the seventh day of their birth; it is more clean and allows the flesh to grow quicker. The land remains unclean fo

إِنَّا نَأْمُرُ الصِّبْيَانَ أَنْ يَجْمَعُوا بَيْنَ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ الْأُولَى وَ الْعَصْرِ وَ بَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ مَا دَامُوا عَلَى وُضُوءٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَشْتَغِلُوا.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘We instruct children to perform two Salat (prayer) together, one Salat (prayer) soon after the other, like al-Zuhr and al-‘Asr, al-Maghrib and al-‘Isha ’ as long as they have valid wudu before they get busy.’”

قُلْتُ لَهُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ رَجُلٌ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ عَلَى طُهْرٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ جِمَاعٍ بِشَهَادَةِ عَدْلَيْنِ فَقَالَ إِذَا دَخَلَتْ فِي الْحَيْضَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ فَقَدِ انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا وَ حَلَّتْ لِلْأَزْوَاجِ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْعِرَاقِ يَرْوُونَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ هُوَ أَحَقُّ بِرَجْعَتِهَا مَا لَمْ تَغْتَسِلْ مِنَ الْحَيْضَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ فَقَالَ فَقَدْ كَذَبُوا.

“I once said to abu Ja‘far (a.s.), ‘I pray to Allah to keep you well, a man has divorced his wife in Hayd (menses)-free period, in the presence of two just witnesses before going to bed with her. He (the Imam) said, ‘When she experiences Hayd (menses) for the third time her waiting period is complete and she is lawful

It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Safwan from Musa ibn Bakr from Zurarah who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, ‘I have heard that Rabi‘ah al-Ra’iy says, “When a divorced woman experiences Hayd (menses) for the third time after divorce she becomes stranger

إِذَا الْتَقَى الْخِتَانَانِ وَجَبَ الْمَهْرُ وَ الْعِدَّةُ وَ الْغُسْلُ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When the two organs meet, mahr (dower), waiting period and Ghusl (bath) become obligatory.’”

إِذَا أَوْلَجَهُ فَقَدْ وَجَبَ الْغُسْلُ وَ الْجَلْدُ وَ الرَّجْمُ وَ وَجَبَ الْمَهْرُ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If he makes it penetrate, Ghusl (bath), whipping, stoning and mahr (dower) become obligatory.’”

سَأَلَهُ أَبِي وَ أَنَا حَاضِرٌ عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً فَأُدْخِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَمَسَّهَا وَ لَمْ يَصِلْ إِلَيْهَا حَتَّى طَلَّقَهَا هَلْ عَلَيْهَا عِدَّةٌ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا الْعِدَّةُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ[1] قِيلَ لَهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ وَاقَعَهَا فِي الْفَرْجِ وَ لَمْ يُنْزِلْ فَقَالَ إِذَا أَدْخَلَهُ وَجَبَ الْغُسْلُ وَ الْمَهْرُ وَ الْعِدَّةُ.

“Abu Basir once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), when I was also there, about a man who marries a woman, goes to her but does not touch or approach her before divorcing if she needs to count the waiting period. He (the Imam) said, ‘Waiting period is because of fluid discharge.’ It was asked, ‘What happens if there is sexua

‘Al-Khul‘ (divorce for payment) is not lawful until she says to her husband, “By Allah, I will not honor your turn, will not obey your order, will not take Ghusl (bath) for you because of sexual intercourse, will not sit on your furnishing and I will give permission without your permission.” People applied KhuV for les

“I once asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), about the case of a woman divorced by means of al- Khul‘. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not lawful for him until she says, ‘I will not honor your turn, follow any of the laws of Allah about you, will not take Ghusl (bath) for you because of sexual intercourse, will not step on your fur

‘I will not honor your turn, will not take Ghusl (bath) for you because of sexual intercourse, I will allow people whom you dislike to enter your house, allow your bed to be used by others and will not obey any of the laws of Allah about you.’ When this happens from her side, then it is fine for him to receive the paym

“Once abu Ja’far (a.s.), was asked about the case of a castrated man who marries a woman, assigns mahr (dower) for her and she knows that he is castrated. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is permissible.’ It then was said that he lives with her as long as Allah wills, then divorces her; if she has any waiting period. He (the Im

‘If I repeat my Salat (prayer) or wudu (because of doubts), then my wife will be like the back of my mother and swears for it about divorce.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is of the misdeeds of Satan. He does not owe anything because of it.’”

لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَذْبَحَ الرَّجُلُ وَ هُوَ جُنُبٌ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is not unlawful if a person after sexual intercourse and before Ghusl (bath) slaughters an animal.”’

‘It is metamorphosed.’ I asked, ‘Is it unlawful for food?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is Najis (unclean). I repeat it three times for you and each one says it is Najis (unclean).”’

“Once I was with abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), and my father was asking him (the Imam) questions about milk from a dead animal, eggs from dead chickens and rennet from dead animals. He (the Imam) said, ‘All of these things are clean.’ He (the narrator) has said, ‘I then asked him (the Imam) about the hairs of pigs from which

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, Alayhi al-Salam, about eating with the Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians. He (the Imam) said, ’If the food belongs to you then make wudu (wash) and eat with them; it is not unlawful.’”

إِذَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْكَ أَخُوكَ فَاعْرِضْ عَلَيْهِ الطَّعَامَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ فَاعْرِضْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَشْرَبْ فَاعْرِضْ عَلَيْهِ الْوَضُوءَ[3].

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When your brother (in belief) comes to your house, offer him food, if he did not want, then offer him water and if he did not want water offer him wudu (to wash his face or perfume).’”

مَنْ غَسَلَ يَدَهُ قَبْلَ الطَّعَامِ وَ بَعْدَهُ عَاشَ فِي سَعَةٍ وَ عُوفِيَ مِنْ بَلْوَى فِي جَسَدِهِ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One who washes his hand before and after food, lives a rich life and remains safe from troubles in his body.”’

قَالَ: يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ الْوُضُوءُ قَبْلَ الطَّعَامِ وَ بَعْدَهُ يُذْهِبَانِ الْفَقْرَ قُلْتُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَذْهَبَانِ بِالْفَقْرِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ يَذْهَبَانِ بِهِ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), once said, ‘O abu Hamzah, Wudu (washing) before and after eating food removes poverty.’ I then said, I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, does it remove poverty?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, it removes poverty.’”
