The Case of One Who Dies in the State of al-’Ihram

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Sama‘ah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about a man who dies in the state of Ihram. He (the Imam) said, ‘Ghusl (bath) and shroud of all pieces must be provided for him like one not in the state of Ihram, except that perfumes must not be allowed to touch him.’”

3. Muhammad has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from ibn Faddal from Yunus from Ya’qub from abu Maryam who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hassan ibn Ali عليه السلام, died in al-Abwa’ (name of a place) in the state of Ihram. With him there were al-Hassan, al- Husayn, ‘Abd Allah ibn Ja‘far, ‘Abd Allah and ‘Ubayd Allah sons of al-‘Abbas. They provided him shroud and covered his face and head, but did not use Hunut (rubbing camphor over the seven parts of the body which one places on the ground for Sajdah (prostration)) saying, ‘This is how it is written in the book of Ali عليه السلام.’”

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Hilal from ‘Abd Allah ibn Jabalah from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about the case of a woman who in the state of Ihram dies during her experiencing Hayd (menses). He (the Imam) said, ‘Perfumes must not be allowed to touch her even if there are women around who are not in the state of Ihram.’”
