Chapter on What is Permissible and Impermissible for the Muhrim to Do and Use of All Types
وَ كَتَبَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ إِلَى أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: اَلْمُحْرِمُ يَغْسِلُ يَدَهُ بِأُشْنَانٍ فِيهِ اَلْإِذْخِرُ فَكَتَبَ «لاَ أُحِبُّهُ لَكَ ».
Ibrahim ibn Sufyan wrote to Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام asking about a Muhrim washing his hands with soapwort (ushnan) that contains idhkhar (a type of fragrant grass). Imam عليه السلام wrote back: "I do not like it for you."
