Chapter on What is Permissible and Impermissible to Wear in the State of Ihram
وَ سَأَلَهُ سَمَاعَةُ: عَنِ اَلْمُحْرِمَةِ تَلْبَسُ اَلْحَرِيرَ فَقَالَ «لاَ يَصْلُحُ لَهَا أَنْ تَلْبَسَ حَرِيراً مَحْضاً لاَ خِلْطَ فِيهِ فَأَمَّا اَلْخَزُّ وَ اَلْعَلَمُ فِي اَلثَّوْبِ فَلاَ بَأْسَ بِأَنْ تَلْبَسَهُ وَ هِيَ مُحْرِمَةٌ وَ إِنْ مَرَّ بِهَا رَجُلٌ اِسْتَتَرَتْ مِنْهُ بِثَوْبِهَا وَ لاَ تَسْتُرُ بِيَدِهَا مِنَ اَلشَّمْسِ وَ تَلْبَسُ اَلْخَزَّ أَمَا إِنَّهُمْ سَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّ فِي اَلْخَزِّ حَرِيراً وَ إِنَّمَا يُكْرَهُ اَلْحَرِيرُ اَلْمُبْهَمُ.
Sama'ah asked Imam عليه السلام about a woman in Ihram wearing silk. Imam عليه السلام said: "It is not proper for her to wear pure silk without any mixture. However, there is no harm if she wears khazz (a silk-blended fabric) or a garment with embroidery while she is in Ihram. If a man passes by her, she should cover herself with her garment but not use her hand to shield herself from the sun. She may wear khazz, although people may say that khazz contains silk. What is disliked is pure silk."
