alkafi-6757Vol. 4, p. 228

لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْحَرَمَ بِسِلَاحٍ إِلَّا أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ فِي جُوَالِقَ أَوْ يُغَيِّبَهُ يَعْنِي يَلُفُّ عَلَى الْحَدِيدِ شَيْئاً.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is not proper to bring arms inside the sacred area unless it is kept inside a bag or covered out of sight by wrapping something over the iron. ‘“

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُرِيدُ مَكَّةَ أَوِ الْمَدِينَةَ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مَعَهُ بِالسِّلَاحِ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يَخْرُجَ بِالسِّلَاحِ مِنْ بَلَدِهِ وَ لَكِنْ إِذَا دَخَلَ مَكَّةَ لَمْ يُظْهِرْهُ.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who wants to go to Makkah or al- Madinah and dislikes to carry arms with him. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful to carry arms when leaving his town but when entering Makkah he must not allow it to come into view.’”
