Chapter on Declaring the Intention (ihlal) for a Nullified Umrah, Its Termination, and Its Rites
وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ اَلْفُضَيْلِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ دَخَلْنَا بِعُمْرَةٍ فَنُقَصِّرُ أَوْ نَحْلِقُ فَقَالَ «اِحْلِقْ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ تَرَحَّمَ عَلَى اَلْمُحَلِّقِينَ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ عَلَى اَلْمُقَصِّرِينَ مَرَّةً.
Safwan ibn Yahya narrated from Salim ibn al-Fudhayl, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "We have entered Mecca for Umrah. Should we trim (taqsir) or shave (halq)?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Shave, for the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace be upon him and his family) invoked mercy for those who shave their heads three times and for those who trim their hair only once."
