The Book of Haj

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع عَنِ الظِّلَالِ لِلْمُحْرِمِ فَقَالَ اضْحَ لِمَنْ أَحْرَمْتَ لَهُ‌[4] قُلْتُ إِنِّي مَحْرُورٌ وَ إِنَّ الْحَرَّ يَشْتَدُّ عَلَيَّ قَالَ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ تَغْرُبُ بِذُنُوبِ الْمُحْرِمِينَ.

‘Remain in the sun for the sake of the One by whose command you assume the state of Ihram.’ I then said, ‘My endurance in the sun is low and heat becomes unbearable to me.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Did you not know that the sun sits along with the sins of the people in the state of Ihram?”’

مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَداً كَانَ أَشَدَّ تَشْدِيداً فِي الظِّلِّ مِنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع كَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِقَلْعِ الْقُبَّةِ وَ الْحَاجِبَيْنِ‌[1] إِذَا أَحْرَمَ

“I did not see anyone more strict about shadow in the state of Ihram than abu Ja‘far (a.s.), who would command to remove the dome (tent) and its poles when he assumed the state of Ihram.’”

سَأَلْتُهُ‌[2] عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ يُضْرَبُ عَلَيْهَا الظِّلَالُ وَ هِيَ مُحْرِمَةٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ فَالرَّجُلُ يُضْرَبُ عَلَيْهِ الظِّلَالُ وَ هُوَ مُحْرِمٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِذَا كَانَتْ بِهِ شَقِيقَةٌ[3] وَ يَتَصَدَّقُ بِمُدٍّ لِكُلِّ يَوْمٍ.

“I once asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), about the case of a woman for whom a shadow is prepared while she is in the state of Ihram. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, it is permissible.’ I then asked the same about men. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, if he suffers from severe headache, but he must pay one mud (a certain measurement) of

كَتَبْتُ إِلَى الرِّضَا ع هَلْ يَجُوزُ لِلْمُحْرِمِ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ تَحْتَ ظِلِّ الْمَحْمِلِ فَكَتَبَ نَعَمْ قَالَ وَ سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ عَنِ الظِّلَالِ لِلْمُحْرِمِ مِنْ أَذَى مَطَرٍ أَوْ شَمْسٍ وَ أَنَا أَسْمَعُ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَفْدِيَ شَاةً وَ يَذْبَحَهَا بِمِنًى.

“I wrote to al-Rida’ (a.s.), and asked if it is permissible to walk in the shadow of the carriage on camel back. He (the Imam) wrote back, ‘Yes, it is permissible.’ Another man had asked about preparing a shadow for one in the state of Ihram because of rain or sun and I was listening, he (the Imam) commanded him to pay

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الظِّلَالِ لِلْمُحْرِمِ قَالَ لَا يُظَلِّلْ إِلَّا مِنْ عِلَّةِ مَرَضٍ.

“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about the case of a man in the state of Ihram and shadows. He (the Imam) said, ’He must not seek shadows unless he is ill.’”

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلِ ع إِنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ شِهَابٍ يَشْكُو رَأْسَهُ وَ الْبَرْدُ شَدِيدٌ وَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُحْرِمَ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ كَمَا زَعَمَ فَلْيُظَلِّلْ وَ أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَاضْحَ لِمَنْ أَحْرَمْتَ لَهُ.

‘If that is the case he can use shadows, but you must stay out of the shadow for the sake of the One for whom you assume the state of Ihram.’”

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع هَلْ يَسْتَتِرُ الْمُحْرِمُ مِنَ الشَّمْسِ فَقَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ شَيْخاً كَبِيراً أَوْ قَالَ ذَا عِلَّةٍ.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), if a man in the state of Ihram can cover himself from the sun. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, he cannot do so, unless he is an old man or one with illness.’”

قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا ع الْمُحْرِمُ يُظَلِّلُ عَلَى مَحْمِلِهِ وَ يَفْتَدِي إِذَا كَانَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَ الْمَطَرُ يُضِرَّانِ بِهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ كَمِ الْفِدَاءُ قَالَ شَاةٌ.

“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who is in the state of Ihram: if he can use shadow and pay ransom if the sun and rain are harmful for him. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so.’ I asked, ‘How much is the ransom?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is one sheep.’”

لَا بَأْسَ بِالْقُبَّةِ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ وَ الصِّبْيَانِ وَ هُمْ مُحْرِمُونَ.

‘It is not harmful for women and children to have a dome (umbrella) while they are in the state of Ihram.’”

لَا يَسْتَتِرُ الْمُحْرِمُ مِنَ الشَّمْسِ بِثَوْبٍ وَ لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَسْتَتِرَ بَعْضَهُ بِبَعْضٍ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘A man in the state of Ihram must not cover himself from the sun with a cloth; but it is not harmful to cover one part by the other part of his body.’”

كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع أَنَّ عَمَّتِي مَعِي وَ هِيَ زَمِيلَتِي‌[1] وَ الْحَرُّ تَشْتَدُّ عَلَيْهَا إِذَا أَحْرَمَتْ فَتَرَى لِي أَنْ أُظَلِّلَ عَلَيَّ وَ عَلَيْهَا فَكَتَبَ ع ظَلِّلْ عَلَيْهَا وَحْدَهَا.

“I once wrote to abu Ja‘far (a.s.), that my aunt who is my travel-mate and the heat is severe for her while she is in the state of Ihram; if I can provide shadow for her and for myself. He (the Imam) wrote, ‘You can provide shadow just for her alone.’”

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمُحْرِمِ أَ يَتَغَطَّى قَالَ أَمَّا مِنَ الْحَرِّ وَ الْبَرْدِ فَلَا.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man in the state of Ihram if he can cover himself. He (the Imam) said, ‘As for from heat or cold, then no.’”

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ مُحْرِمٍ ظَلَّلَ فِي عُمْرَتِهِ قَالَ يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ دَمٌ قَالَ وَ إِنْ خَرَجَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ وَ ظَلَّلَ وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ أَيْضاً دَمٌ لِعُمْرَتِهِ وَ دَمٌ لِحَجَّتِهِ.

“I once asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), about a man who seeks shadow in his al-‘Umrah. He (the Imam) said, ’Slaughtering (an animal) is necessary.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘If he goes out to Makkah and uses shadow, it is necessary to slaughter an animal; one for al-‘Umrah and one for al- Hajj.’”

كُنَّا فِي دِهْلِيزِ يَحْيَى بْنِ خَالِدٍ بِمَكَّةَ وَ كَانَ هُنَاكَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ع وَ أَبُو يُوسُفَ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ أَبُو يُوسُفَ وَ تَرَبَّعَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ الْمُحْرِمُ يُظَلِّلُ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَيَسْتَظِلُّ بِالْجِدَارِ وَ الْمَحْمِلِ وَ يَدْخُلُ الْبَيْتَ وَ الْخِبَاءَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَضَحِكَ أَبُو يُوسُفَ شِبْهَ الْمُسْتَهْزِئِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو الْح

15. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn abu Najran from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl who has said the following: “Once we were in the hall of Yahya ibn Khalid in Makkah. Abu al-Hassan, Musa, ‘Alayhi al-Salam and abu Yusuf were there. Abu Yusuf stood up to move closer and then sat down square in front o

لَا يَرْتَمِسُ الْمُحْرِمُ فِي الْمَاءِ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One in the state of Ihram must not submerge his head in the water.”’

لَا يَرْتَمِسُ الْمُحْرِمُ فِي الْمَاءِ وَ لَا الصَّائِمُ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One in the state of Ihram must not submerge his head in the water, as well as one fasting.’”

لَا تَمَسَّ شَيْئاً مِنَ الطِّيبِ وَ لَا مِنَ الدُّهْنِ فِي إِحْرَامِكَ وَ اتَّقِ الطِّيبَ فِي طَعَامِكَ وَ أَمْسِكْ عَلَى أَنْفِكَ مِنَ الرَّائِحَةِ الطَّيِّبَةِ وَ لَا تُمْسِكْ عَنْهُ مِنَ الرِّيحِ الْمُنْتِنَةِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُحْرِمِ أَنْ يَتَلَذَّذَ بِرِيحٍ طَيِّبَةٍ.

“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘You must not touch any perfume or oil in the state of Ihram. Avoid perfumes in your food, hold your nose from sweet smelling things but you must not hold your nose against bad smells; it is not proper for one in the state of Ihram to enjoy sweet smelling perfumes.”’

لَا يَمَسَّ الْمُحْرِمُ شَيْئاً مِنَ الطِّيبِ وَ لَا الرَّيْحَانِ وَ لَا يَتَلَذَّذْ بِهِ وَ لَا بِرِيحٍ طَيِّبَةٍ فَمَنِ ابْتُلِيَ بِشَيْ‌ءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَتَصَدَّقْ بِقَدْرِ مَا صَنَعَ قَدْرَ سَعَتِهِ

"The one in the state of Ihram must not touch any items of fragrance or plants, nor should he derive pleasure from it, and neither should he smell a pleasant odor. So whoever is tested with any of that should give in charity an amount equivalent to what he has done, to the best of his ability."

مَنْ أَكَلَ زَعْفَرَاناً مُتَعَمِّداً أَوْ طَعَاماً فِيهِ طِيبٌ فَعَلَيْهِ دَمٌ فَإِنْ كَانَ نَاسِياً فَلَا شَيْ‌ءَ عَلَيْهِ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘If one in the state of Ihram eats saffron knowingly or food in which there is perfume, he must slaughter one animal as offering. If it is due to forgetfulness then there is nothing on him and he must only ask Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, to forgive him.’”

الْمُحْرِمُ يُمْسِكُ عَلَى أَنْفِهِ مِنَ الرِّيحِ الطَّيِّبَةِ وَ لَا يُمْسِكُ عَلَى أَنْفِهِ مِنَ الرِّيحِ الْمُنْتِنَةِ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One in the state of Ihram must hold his nose from sweet smelling things, but not from bad smelling ones.’”

لَا بَأْسَ بِالرِّيحِ الطَّيِّبَةِ فِيمَا بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْعَطَّارِينَ وَ لَا يُمْسِكْ عَلَى أَنْفِهِ.

the smells of perfumes from perfume sellers between al- Safa’ and al-Marwah is not harmful and one is not required to hold his nose.’” H 7243, Ch. 92, h 6

رَأَيْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع كُشِفَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ طِيبٌ لِيَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ وَ هُوَ مُحْرِمٌ فَأَمْسَكَ عَلَى أَنْفِهِ بِثَوْبِهِ مِنْ رِيحِهِ‌[1].

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about perfumes, if using saltwort, which has a certain perfume and I wash my hands therewith while I am in the state of Ihram, is permissible. He (the Imam) said, ‘When you are about to assume the state of Ihram, look into your luggage and keep aside what you need.’ He (the Imam) sa

قُلْتُ لَهُ الْأُشْنَانُ فِيهِ الطِّيبُ أَغْسِلُ بِهِ يَدَيَّ وَ أَنَا مُحْرِمٌ قَالَ إِذَا أَرَدْتُمُ الْإِحْرَامَ فَانْظُرُوا مَزَاوِدَكُمْ فَاعْزِلُوا الَّذِي لَا تَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَيْهِ وَ قَالَ تَصَدَّقْ بِشَيْ‌ءٍ كَفَّارَةً لِلْأُشْنَانِ الَّذِي غَسَلْتَ بِهِ يَدَكَ.

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who is in the state of Ihram and his cloth comes in contact with perfume. He (the Imam) said, ’It is not harmful. He can wash it clean with his own hands.”’

لَا بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يَغْسِلَهُ بِيَدِ نَفْسِهِ.

“I once said to abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), that while in the state of Ihram, I ate Khabis (a certain sweet mix) until I was full. He (the Imam) said, ‘When you complete all of your acts and are about to leave, buy one dirham of dates and give it as charity. It will be expiation for whatever may have happened in your Ihram

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنِّي أَكَلْتُ خَبِيصاً[3] حَتَّى شَبِعْتُ‌ وَ أَنَا مُحْرِمٌ فَقَالَ إِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ مَنَاسِكِكَ وَ أَرَدْتَ الْخُرُوجَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ فَابْتَعْ بِدِرْهَمٍ تَمْراً فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ فَيَكُونَ كَفَّارَةً لِذَلِكَ وَ لِمَا دَخَلَ فِي إِحْرَامِكَ مِمَّا لَا تَعْلَمُ.

“I once asked abu Ja’far (a.s.), about a man who is in the state of Ihram and uses a salt which is mixed with saffron. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not proper for one while in the state of Ihram to use a thing which has saffron or any other kind of perfumes.’”

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع مَا تَقُولُ فِي الْمِلْحِ فِيهِ زَعْفَرَانٌ لِلْمُحْرِمِ قَالَ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُحْرِمِ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ شَيْئاً فِيهِ زَعْفَرَانٌ وَ لَا شَيْئاً مِنَ الطِّيبِ.

“He (the Imam) (a.s.), considered one’s sleeping on a yellow bed or yellow Mirfaqah (comforter), in the state of Ihram detestable.” (It perhaps is because of saffron dye)

كُرِهَ أَنْ يَنَامَ الْمُحْرِمُ عَلَى فِرَاشٍ أَصْفَرَ أَوْ عَلَى مِرْفَقَةٍ صَفْرَاءَ.

“It is detestable for the person in a state of Ihram to sleep on a yellow bed or yellow Mirfaqah (comforter).”

لَا تَمَسَّ رَيْحَاناً وَ أَنْتَ مُحْرِمٌ وَ لَا شَيْئاً فِيهِ زَعْفَرَانٌ وَ لَا تَطْعَمْ طَعَاماً فِيهِ زَعْفَرَانٌ.

“You must not touch any fragrance while you are in the state of Ihram, or anything in which there is saffron, and do not taste any food with saffron in it.”

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الْمُحْرِمِ يَغْسِلُ يَدَهُ بِالْأُشْنَانِ قَالَ كَانَ أَبِي يَغْسِلُ يَدَهُ بِالْحُرُضِ الْأَبْيَضِ‌[2].

‘My father (a.s.) would wash his hands with white Hurud (saltwort).”

لَا بَأْسَ بِأَنْ تَشَمَّ الْإِذْخِرَ وَ الْقَيْصُومَ وَ الْخُزَامَى وَ الشِّيحَ وَ أَشْبَاهَهُ وَ أَنْتَ مُحْرِمٌ.

“It is not harmful to smell ‘Idhkhir (a green plant with a certain fragrance), lavender cotton, tulip, wormwood and similar things, while you are in the state of Ihram.”

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمُحْرِمِ يَمَسُ‌ الطِّيبَ وَ هُوَ نَائِمٌ لَا يَعْلَمُ قَالَ يَغْسِلُهُ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْ‌ءٌ وَ عَنِ الْمُحْرِمِ يَدْهُنُهُ الْحَلَالُ بِالدُّهْنِ الطَّيِّبِ وَ الْمُحْرِمُ لَا يَعْلَمُ مَا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ يَغْسِلُهُ أَيْضاً وَ لْيَحْذَرْ.

“I once asked Ibn Abi ‘Umayr about apple, citron and lotus and things with sweet fragrance. He said, ‘Hold back from smelling while you eat them.’” (It seems like it is Ibn Abi ‘Umayr’s Fatwa)

سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ التُّفَّاحِ وَ الْأُتْرُجِّ وَ النَّبِقِ‌[1] وَ مَا طَابَ رِيحُهُ قَالَ تُمْسِكُ عَنْ شَمِّهِ وَ تَأْكُلُهُ.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who is in the state of Ihram and eats citron. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can eat.’ I then said, ‘It has nice fragrance.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Citron is food and it is not a fragrance.’”

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمُحْرِمِ يَأْكُلُ الْأُتْرُجَّ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ لَهُ رَائِحَةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ قَالَ الْأُتْرُجُّ طَعَامٌ لَيْسَ هُوَ مِنَ الطِّيبِ.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about henna (privet). He (the Imam) said, ‘A person in the state of Ihram can touch and treat his camel with it. It is not a perfume and it is not harmful.’”

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْحِنَّاءِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْمُحْرِمَ لَيَمَسُّهُ وَ يُدَاوِي بِهِ بَعِيرَهُ وَ مَا هُوَ بِطِيبٍ وَ مَا بِهِ بَأْسٌ‌[2].

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of my clothes which are fumigated along with my clothes for Ihram and I find the smell in it. He (the Imam) said, ‘Spread it in the air so winds can dispel the smell.’”

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنِّي جَعَلْتُ ثَوْبَيْ إِحْرَامِي مَعَ أَثْوَابٍ قَدْ جُمِّرَتْ فَأَجِدُ مِنْ رِيحِهَا قَالَ فَانْشُرْهَا فِي الرِّيحِ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ رِيحُهَا.

18. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Kufiy from al-‘Abbas ibn ‘Amir from Hammad ibn ‘Uthaman who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of my clothes which are fumigated along with my clothes for Ihram and I find the smell in it. He (the Imam) sa

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.’”

إِذَا اشْتَكَى الْمُحْرِمُ فَلْيَتَدَاوَ بِمَا يَأْكُلُ وَ هُوَ مُحْرِمٌ‌[1].

‘If one in the state of Ihram becomes ill one must treat the illness with edible items while he is in the state of Ihram.”’

مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَلَى كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ وَ الْقَمْلُ يَتَنَاثَرُ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ وَ هُوَ مُحْرِمٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَ تُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَأُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ- فَمَنْ كانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضاً أَوْ بِهِ أَذىً مِنْ رَأْسِهِ فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ‌[2] فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَنْ يَحْلِقَ وَ جَعَلَ الصِّيَامَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَ الصَّدَقَةَ عَلَى سِتَّةِ مَسَاك

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, passed by Ka‘b ibn ‘Ujrah. Lice spread from his head and he was in the state of Ihram. He (the Messenger of Allah) asked, ‘Do your bugs annoy you?’ He replied, ‘Yes,

سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ[5] وَ أَنَا حَاضِرٌ فَقَالَ‌ أَكْتَحِلُ إِذَا أَحْرَمْتُ قَالَ لَا وَ لِمَ تَكْتَحِلُ قَالَ إِنِّي ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ فَإِذَا أَنَا اكْتَحَلْتُ نَفَعَنِي وَ إِذَا لَمْ أَكْتَحِلْ ضَرَّنِي قَالَ فَاكْتَحِلْ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَجْعَلُ مَعَ الْكُحْلِ غَيْرَهُ قَالَ مَا هُوَ قَالَ آخُذُ خِرْقَتَيْنِ فَأُرَبِّعُهُمَا فَأَجْعَلُ عَلَى كُلِّ عَيْنٍ خِرْقَةً وَ أُعَصِّبُهُمَا بِعِصَابَةٍ إِلَى ق

‘I use kohl when I assume the state of Ihram.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No, do not use kohl.’ He said, ‘I am blind. If I use kohl it benefits me but if I do not use, it harms me.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If that is the case then you can use kohl.’ He then said, ‘With kohl I use a certain other thing.’ He (the Imam) asked, ‘Wh

“A man once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man in whose hands and feet cracks appear while he is in the state of Ihram; if he can use medicine.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who is in the state of Ihram; if he can squeeze a pimple or bandage a wound. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful.’”

إِنْ خَرَجَ بِالرَّجُلِ مِنْكُمُ الْخُرَاجُ أَوِ الدُّمَّلُ فَلْيَرْبِطْهُ وَ لْيَتَدَاوَ بِزَيْتٍ أَوْ سَمْنٍ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If something appears on your skin like a pimple or so, you can bandage it and use ghee or oil as medicine.’”

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الْمُحْرِمِ يَكُونُ بِهِ شَجَّةٌ أَ يُدَاوِيهَا أَوْ يُعَصِّبُهَا بِخِرْقَةٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ كَذَلِكَ الْقَرْحَةُ تَكُونُ فِي الْجَسَدِ.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who is in the state of Ihram and has a head wound; if he can treat it with medicine or use bandage. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so and so also with a sore on the body.’”

سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الْمُحْرِمِ يَكُونُ بِهِ الْجُرْحُ فَيَتَدَاوَى بِدَوَاءٍ فِيهِ زَعْفَرَانٌ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ الْغَالِبَ عَلَى الدَّوَاءِ فَلَا وَ إِنْ كَانَتِ الْأَدْوِيَةُ الْغَالِبَةَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَا بَأْسَ.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who is in the state of Ihram with a wound and treats it with a medicine which has saffron. He (the Imam) said, ‘If saffron is overwhelming, it is not permissible; but if the medicine is overwhelming, it is not harmful.’”

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمُحْرِمِ يُصِيبُ أُذُنَهُ الرِّيحُ فَيَخَافُ أَنْ يَمْرَضَ هَلْ يَصْلُحُ لَهُ أَنْ يَسُدَّ أُذُنَيْهِ بِالْقُطْنِ قَالَ نَعَمْ لَا بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ إِذَا خَافَ ذَلِكَ وَ إِلَّا فَلَا.

لَا بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يُعَصِّبَ الْمُحْرِمُ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الصُّدَاعِ.

‘It is not harmful if one in the state of Ihram ties a strip around his head because of a headache.’”
