لَا تَنْظُرْ فِي الْمِرْآةِ وَ أَنْتَ مُحْرِمٌ لِأَنَّهُ مِنَ الزِّينَةِ وَ لَا تَكْتَحِلِ الْمَرْأَةُ الْمُحْرِمَةُ- بِالسَّوَادِ إِنَّ السَّوَادَ زِينَةٌ[1].
“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘You must not look into the mirror, while you are in the state of Ihram; it is of beautification. A woman in the state of Ihram must not use kohl (eye-shadows) with black color; black is beautification.’”
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع لَا يَنْظُرِ الْمُحْرِمُ فِي الْمِرْآةِ لِزِينَةٍ فَإِنْ نَظَرَ فَلْيُلَبِ[2].
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One in the state of Ihram must not look into the mirror; if one does so, one must say the Talbiyah (here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command).”’
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْكُحْلِ لِلْمُحْرِمِ قَالَ أَمَّا بِالسَّوَادِ فَلَا وَ لَكِنْ بِالصَّبِرِ وَ الْحُضُضِ[3].
I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about kohl for one in the state of Ihram. He (the Imam) said, ‘Not with black color but one can use it with sabr and hudod (two kinds of medicine for the eyes).”’
إِذَا اشْتَكَى الْمُحْرِمُ عَيْنَيْهِ فَلْيَكْتَحِلْ بِكُحْلٍ لَيْسَ فِيهِ مِسْكٌ وَ لَا طِيبٌ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If one in the state of Ihram suffers from illness in the eyes it is permissible for one to use kohl which does not have musk or perfume in it.’”
الْمُحْرِمُ لَا يَكْتَحِلْ إِلَّا مِنْ وَجَعٍ وَ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِأَنْ تَكْتَحِلَ وَ أَنْتَ مُحْرِمٌ بِمَا لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ طِيبٌ يُوجَدُ رِيحُهُ فَأَمَّا لِلزِّينَةِ فَلَا[5].
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One in the state of Ihram must not use kohl unless it is to cure pain.’ He (the Imam) has said, ‘Using kohl which does not have any perfume while one is in the state of Ihram is not harmful, however, for beautification it is not permissible.’”
