Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh

رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: « « اَلْحَجُّ أَشْهُرٌ مَعْلُومٰاتٌ »، - شَوَّالٌ وَ ذُو اَلْقَعْدَةِ وَ ذُو اَلْحِجَّةِ وَ مَنْ أَرَادَ اَلْحَجَّ وَفَّرَ شَعْرَهُ إِذَا نَظَرَ إِلَى هِلاَلِ ذِي اَلْقَعْدَةِ وَ مَنْ أَرَادَ اَلْعُمْرَةَ وَفَّرَ شَعْرَهُ شَهْراً».

Mu‘awiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Abu Abdullah (a.s), who said: "The Hajj is in well-known months" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:197)—Shawwal, Dhu al-Qa‘dah, and Dhu al-Hijjah. Whoever intends to perform Hajj should let their hair grow from the sighting of the crescent of Dhu al-Qa‘dah. Whoever intends to perform ‘Umrah should let their hair grow for a month."

وقد يجزي الحاج بالرخص أن يوفر شعره شهرا، روى ذلك هشام بن الحكم وإسماعيل بن جابر عن الصادق عليه السلام. ورواه إسحاق بن عمار عن أبي الحسن موسى بن جعفر عليهما السلام.

It is also permissible for a pilgrim to grow their hair for a month as a concession. This was narrated by Hisham ibn al-Hakam and Isma‘il ibn Jabir from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s), and also by Ishaq ibn Ammar from Abu al-Hasan Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (a.s).

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْحِجَامَةِ وَ حَلْقِ اَلْقَفَا فِي أَشْهُرِ اَلْحَجِّ قَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ وَ لاَ بَأْسَ بِالنُّورَةِ وَ اَلسِّوَاكِ ».

It is narrated from Sama‘ah, who said: I asked Imam (a.s) about cupping and shaving the nape during the months of Hajj. Imam (a.s) said: "There is no harm in it, nor in using Nuura (depilatory cream) or a toothstick (siwak)."
