he said: "A woman in Ihram may wear all types of jewelry except conspicuous earrings (al-qurt al-mashhoor) and a conspicuous necklace (al-qiladah al-mashhoorah)."

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is not harmful for women and children to have a dome (umbrella) while they are in the state of Ihram.’”

A man asked Imam (as) in my presence about a garment dyed with safflower (‘usfur) that has been washed. "Can I wear it while in the state of Ihram?" Imam (as) replied: "Yes, safflower is not considered a fragrance. However, I dislike for you to wear something that makes you stand out among people."

I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about women in the state of ihram. Imam (as) said: "They may prepare themselves in whatever manner they wish. When they reach the tree (Miqat), they enter ihram for Hajj and recite the Talbiyah at the marker at the beginning of al-Bayda. Then they are brought to Mecca, where they should hasten to perform tawaf and sa‘i. Once they complete their tawaf and sa‘i, they trim their hair and exit ihram, performing tamattu‘. On the Day of Tarwiyah (8th of Dhu al-Hijjah), they enter ihram for Hajj, thus combining ‘Umrah and Hajj. If they encounter any ailment, they remain upon their Hajj and do not separate their Hajj from their ‘Umrah."

“Once, a blind man asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), when I was there, saying, ‘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, ‘What is it?’ He said, ‘I take two pieces of cloth, fold them and place them on my eyes, then secure them in place by a strip behind my head. If I did this it benefits me; if I did not do, it harms me. He (the Imam) said, ‘If that is the case then you can do it.’”

“A child was born to abu al-Hassan (a.s.), in Mina’. On the day of al-Nahr (slaughtering the offering, 10th of Dhu al-Hajjah) he (the Imam) sent us sweet mix with saffron in it and we had shaved. ‘Abd al-Rahman has said, ‘I ate but abu al-Kahiliy and Murazim abstained from eating. They said, “We have not visited the House yet.” Abu al-Hassan (a.s.), had heard our conversation, and he (the Imam) asked Musadif, the messenger who had brought the sweet mix. “What were they talking about?” He replied that ‘Abd al-Rahman ate the sweet but the other two abstained saying they have not visited the House yet. He (the Imam) said, “‘Abd al-Rahman has done the right thing.” He (the Imam) then said, “Does he not remember that on such a day a similar thing was brought for us? I ate from it and my brother ‘Abd Allah abstained from eating. When my father came, he provoked him against me saying, ‘Musa just ate sweet mix with saffron in it and he has not yet visited the House.’ My father said, ‘He is more knowledgeable in fiqh than you are. Is it not the fact that you have shaved your heads?”””
