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 ».
Mu‘awiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, 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 سبحانه وتعالى 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 سبحانه وتعالى 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."

وَ رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ نَحْنُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ عَنِ اَلتَّهَيُّؤِ لِلْإِحْرَامِ فَقَالَ «اِطَّلِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَ تَجَهَّزْ بِكُلِّ مَا تُرِيدُ وَ اِغْتَسِلْ إِنْ شِئْتَ، وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ اِسْتَمْتَعْتَ بِقَمِيصِكَ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ مَسْجِدَ اَلشَّجَرَةِ ».
Mu‘awiyah ibn Wahb narrated: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام in Medina about preparing for Ihram. Imam عليه السلام said: "Prepare yourself in Medina, take everything you need, and if you wish, perform ghusl (ritual bath). If you wish, you may continue wearing your shirt until you reach Masjid al-Shajarah."

وَ سَأَلَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ: عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَطَّلِي قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ اَلْوَقْتُ بِسِتِّ لَيَالٍ قَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ» وَ سَأَلَهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَطَّلِي قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ مَكَّةَ بِسَبْعِ لَيَالٍ أَوْ ثَمَانِ لَيَالٍ قَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ».
Mu‘awiyah ibn Ammar asked about a man who removes hair (yattili) six nights before reaching the miqat. Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no harm in it." He also asked about a man who removes hair seven or eight nights before reaching Makkah. Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no harm in it."

وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ أَنَا حَاضِرٌ فَقَالَ إِذَا اِطَّلَيْتُ لِلْإِحْرَامِ اَلْأَوَّلِ كَيْفَ لِي أَنْ أَصْنَعَ فِي اَلطَّلْيَةِ اَلْأَخِيرَةِ وَ كَمْ حَدُّ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَقَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا جُمْعَتَانِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْماً فَاطَّلِ ».
Ali ibn Abi Hamzah narrated from Abu Basir, who said: A man asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام in my presence: "If I remove hair (apply depilatory) for the first Ihram, what should I do for the subsequent depilation, and what is the minimum interval between the two?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "If there are two Fridays in between, a total of fifteen days, then remove hair again (apply the depilatory)."

وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ قَالَ: أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ نَحْنُ جَمَاعَةٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَنَّا نُرِيدُ أَنْ نُوَدِّعَكَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «أَنِ اِغْتَسِلُوا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَعِزَّ اَلْمَاءُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِذِي اَلْحُلَيْفَةِ فَاغْتَسِلُوا بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَ اِلْبَسُوا ثِيَابَكُمُ اَلَّتِي تُحْرِمُونَ فِيهَا ثُمَّ تَعَالَوْا فُرَادَى وَ مَثَانِيَ، » قَالَ فَاجْتَمَعْنَا عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ اِبْنُ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ مَا تَقُولُ فِي دُهْنَةٍ بَعْدَ اَلْغُسْلِ لِلْإِحْرَامِ فَقَالَ «قَبْلُ وَ بَعْدُ وَ مَعَ لَيْسَ بِهِ بَأْسٌ» قَالَ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِقَارُورَةِ بَانٍ سَلِيخَةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ فَأَمَرَنَا فَادَّهَنَّا مِنْهَا فَلَمَّا أَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَخْرُجَ قَالَ «لاَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تَغْتَسِلُوا إِنْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَاءً إِذَا بَلَغْتُمْ ذَا اَلْحُلَيْفَةِ ».
Ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Hisham ibn Salim, who said: We, a group in Medina, sent a message to Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, informing him that we wanted to bid him farewell. Abu Abdullah عليه السلام 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 عليه السلام replied: "Whether before, after, or during (Ihram), there is no harm in it." Then, Imam عليه السلام 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 عليه السلام said: "It is not necessary, but if you find water upon reaching Dhul-Hulayfah, you may perform ghusl again."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 125
وَ سَأَلَهُ مُحَمَّدٌ اَلْحَلَبِيُّ: عَنْ دُهْنِ اَلْخِيرِيِّ وَ اَلْبَنَفْسَجِ أَنَدَّهِنُ بِهِ إِذَا أَرَدْنَا أَنْ نُحْرِمَ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» وَ سَأَلَهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَغْتَسِلُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ لِإِحْرَامِهِ فَقَالَ «يُجْزِيهِ ذَلِكَ مِنَ اَلْغُسْلِ بِذِي اَلْحُلَيْفَةِ ».
Muhammad al-Halabi asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about the use of khayri (a type of oil derived from flowers) and banafsaj (violet oil) for anointing oneself when intending to enter Ihram. Imam عليه السلام replied: "Yes, it is permissible." Muhammad then asked him about a person who performs ghusl (ritual bath) in Medina for their Ihram. Imam عليه السلام said: "It suffices them, and they do not need to perform another ghusl at Dhul-Hulayfah."

وَ رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: اَلرَّجُلُ يَدَّهِنُ بِأَيِّ دُهْنٍ شَاءَ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ مِسْكٌ وَ لاَ عَنْبَرٌ وَ لاَ زَعْفَرَانٌ وَ لاَ وَرْسٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ لِلْإِحْرَامِ قَالَ «وَ لاَ تُجَمِّرْ ثَوْباً لِإِحْرَامِكَ».
Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Imam عليه السلام that a person may anoint themselves with any oil they wish before performing ghusl for Ihram, provided that the oil does not contain: - Musk - Ambergris - Saffron - Wars (a type of yellow plant dye). Imam عليه السلام also added: "Do not perfume your Ihram garments with incense (tajmir)."

وَ رَوَى اَلْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ اَلْجَوْهَرِيُّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَدَّهِنُ بِدُهْنٍ فِيهِ طِيبٌ وَ هُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُحْرِمَ فَقَالَ «لاَ تَدَّهِنْ حِينَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُحْرِمَ بِدُهْنٍ فِيهِ مِسْكٌ وَ لاَ عَنْبَرٌ يَبْقَى رِيحُهُ فِي رَأْسِكَ بَعْدَ مَا تُحْرِمُ وَ اِدَّهِنْ بِمَا شِئْتَ مِنَ اَلدُّهْنِ حِينَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُحْرِمَ قَبْلَ اَلْغُسْلِ وَ بَعْدَهُ فَإِذَا أَحْرَمْتَ فَقَدْ حَرُمَ عَلَيْكَ اَلدُّهْنُ حَتَّى تُحِلَّ».
Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad al-Jawhari narrated from Ali ibn Abi Hamzah who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who anoints himself with an oil containing fragrance while intending to enter Ihram. Imam عليه السلام replied: "Do not anoint yourself when you intend to enter Ihram with oil containing musk or ambergris, as their scent may linger in your hair after entering Ihram. 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."

وَ رَوَى حَمَّادٌ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ كَانَ لاَ يَرَى بَأْساً بِأَنْ تَكْتَحِلَ اَلْمَرْأَةُ وَ تَدَّهِنَ وَ تَغْتَسِلَ بَعْدَ هَذَا كُلِّهِ لِلْإِحْرَامِ.
Hammad narrated from Hariz, who narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: Imam عليه السلام saw no harm if a woman applied kohl, anointed herself with oil, and performed ghusl after doing all of this in preparation for Ihram.

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ جَمِيلٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «غُسْلُ يَوْمِكَ يُجْزِيكَ لِلَيْلَتِكَ وَ غُسْلُ لَيْلَتِكَ يُجْزِيكَ لِيَوْمِكَ ».
In a narration by Jamil, Imam عليه السلام said: "The ghusl of your day suffices for your night, and the ghusl of your night suffices for your day."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 125
وَ سُئِلَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ رَجُلٍ اِغْتَسَلَ لِإِحْرَامِهِ ثُمَّ قَلَّمَ أَظْفَارَهُ، قَالَ «يَمْسَحُهَا بِالْمَاءِ وَ لاَ يُعِيدُ اَلْغُسْلَ».
Abu Ja'far عليه السلام was asked about a man who performed ghusl for his ihram and then trimmed his nails. Imam عليه السلام replied: "He should wipe them with water and does not need to repeat the ghusl."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ رَوَى اَلْعِيصُ بْنُ اَلْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَغْتَسِلُ لِلْإِحْرَامِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَ يَلْبَسُ ثَوْبَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَنَامُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُحْرِمَ قَالَ «لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ غُسْلٌ ». ومن اغتسل أول الليل ثم أحرم آخر الليل أجزأه غسله.
Al-‘Ays ibn al-Qasim narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام that he said: "I asked him about a man who performs ghusl for ihram in Medina, wears the two garments of ihram, and then sleeps before assuming ihram. Imam عليه السلام replied: 'There is no need for him to repeat the ghusl.'"
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
ومن اغتسل أول الليل ثم أحرم آخر الليل أجزأه غسله.
If a person performs ghusl at the beginning of the night and assumes ihram at the end of the night, the initial ghusl suffices.
