قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَا تَقُولُ فِي مُحْرِمٍ قَتَلَ قَمْلَةً قَالَ لَا شَيْ‌ءَ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْقَمْلِ وَ لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَتَعَمَّدَ قَتْلَهَا.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who in the state of Ihram kills a louse. He (the Imam) said, ‘There is nothing on him for it, but it is not proper to do so knowingly.’”

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‌ لَا يَرْمِي الْمُحْرِمُ الْقَمْلَةَ مِنْ ثَوْبِهِ وَ لَا مِنْ جَسَدِهِ مُتَعَمِّداً فَإِنْ فَعَلَ شَيْئاً مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَلْيُطْعِمْ مَكَانَهَا طَعَاماً قُلْتُ كَمْ قَالَ كَفّاً وَاحِداً[2].

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One in the state of Ihram must not knowingly throw away from one’s body or cloth a louse, if one does so one must feed food.’ I asked, ‘How much food is it?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘One handful (one meal).”’

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ وَجَدْتُ عَلَيَّ قُرَاداً أَوْ حَلَمَةً أَطْرَحُهُمَا قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ صَغَارٌ لَهُمَا إِنَّهُمَا رَقِيَا فِي غَيْرِ مَرْقَاهُمَا[3].

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who in the state of Ihram finds ticks and bigger ticks; can he throw it away? He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so. It is very mean of them to climb where they are not to climb.’”
