“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is not unlawful to clip or pull out gray from the head but clipping is more likable to me.”
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ
لَا بَأْسَ بِجَزِّ الشَّمَطِ وَ نَتْفِهِ وَ جَزُّهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ نَتْفِهِ .
