2533 - رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ : «إِذَا اِنْتَهَيْتَ إِلَى اَلْعَقِيقِ مِنْ قِبَلِ اَلْعِرَاقِ أَوْ إِلَى وَقْتٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ اَلْمَوَاقِيتِ وَ أَنْتَ تُرِيدُ اَلْإِحْرَامَ إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ فَانْتِفْ إِبْطَيْكَ وَ قَلِّمْ أَظْفَارَكَ وَ اِطْلِ عَانَتَكَ وَ خُذْ مِنْ شَارِبِكَ وَ لاَ يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّ ذَلِكَ بَدَأْتَ ثُمَّ اِسْتَكْ وَ اِغْتَسِلْ وَ اِلْبَسْ ثَوْبَيْكَ وَ لْيَكُنْ فَرَاغُكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى عِنْدَ زَوَالِ اَلشَّمْسِ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ زَوَالِ اَلشَّمْسِ فَلاَ يَضُرُّكَ إِلاَّ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ عِنْدَ زَوَالِ اَلشَّمْسِ ».

Hadith.2533 - Mu‘awiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Abu Abdullah (as), who said: "When you reach Al-‘Aqiq coming from Iraq, or any of the designated miqats (stations for Ihram), and you intend to enter Ihram, if Allah (swt) wills, then remove the hair from your underarms, trim your nails, clean your private area, and trim your mustache. It does not matter in which order you begin these actions. Then use the siwak (tooth-stick), take a ritual bath (ghusl), and wear your two garments for Ihram. Let this preparation, if Allah (swt) wills, be completed by the time of midday (zawal). If it is not completed by midday, there is no harm, but it is more beloved to me that it coincides with midday."

Hadith.2537 - Ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Hisham ibn Salim, who said: We, a group in Medina, sent a message to Abu Abdullah (as), informing him that we wanted to bid him farewell. Abu Abdullah (as) sent back a reply: "Perform ghusl (ritual bath) in Medina, for I fear that water may be scarce for you at Dhul-Hulayfah. Perform ghusl in Medina, wear the clothes you intend to enter Ihram in, and then come to me individually or in pairs." We gathered at his place, and Ibn Abi Ya‘fur asked him: "What do you say about using oil after the ghusl for Ihram?" Imam (as) replied: "Whether before, after, or during (Ihram), there is no harm in it." Then, Imam (as) brought a bottle of bān salīkhah (a type of oil) that was empty except for a small amount, and he instructed us to apply it. When we were ready to leave, Imam (as) said: "It is not necessary, but if you find water upon reaching Dhul-Hulayfah, you may perform ghusl again."

However, you may use any other type of oil when preparing for Ihram, either before or after ghusl. Once you have entered Ihram, using any oil becomes forbidden until you complete the rites and exit Ihram."
