Chapter on What is Permissible and Impermissible for the Muhrim to Do and Use of All Types
وَ سَأَلَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلْمُحْرِمِ تَطُولُ أَظْفَارَهُ أَوْ يَنْكَسِرُ بَعْضُهَا فَيُؤْذِيهِ ذَلِكَ قَالَ «لاَ يَقُصَّ مِنْهَا شَيْئاً إِنِ اِسْتَطَاعَ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ تُؤْذِيهِ فَلْيَقُصَّهَا وَ لْيُطْعِمْ مَكَانَ كُلِّ ظُفُرٍ قَبْضَةً مِنْ طَعَامٍ ».
Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a person in the state of ihram whose nails grow long or some of them break and cause harm. Imam عليه السلام said: "They should not cut any of them if they can avoid it. But if they cause harm, they may trim them, and for each nail, they must give a handful of food as expiation."
