Chapter on the Trimming or Shaving for the Mutamatti‘, His Release From Ihram, and the Rulings for One Who Forgets to Trim Until He Engages in Intimacy or Commences the Hajj
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنِّي لَمَّا قَضَيْتُ نُسُكِي لِلْعُمْرَةِ أَتَيْتُ أَهْلِي وَ لَمْ أُقَصِّرْ قَالَ «عَلَيْكَ بَدَنَةٌ» قَالَفَإِنِّي لَمَّا أَرَدْتُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهَا وَ لَمْ تَكُنْ قَصَّرَتْ اِمْتَنَعَتْ فَلَمَّا غَلَبْتُهَا قَرَضَتْ بَعْضَ شَعْرِهَا بِأَسْنَانِهَا قَالَ «رَحِمَهَا اَللَّهُ إِنَّهَا كَانَتْ أَفْقَهَ مِنْكَ عَلَيْكَ بَدَنَةٌ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا شَيْءٌ.».
It is narrated from Hammad ibn Uthman, who said: A man said to Imam Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, "May I be your ransom! After completing my rituals for ‘Umrah, I went to my wife but had not trimmed my hair." Imam عليه السلام said: "You must offer a camel as expiation." The man then said: "When I attempted this with her, and she had not trimmed her hair either, she resisted. When I overpowered her, she bit off some of her hair with her teeth." Imam عليه السلام said: "May Allah سبحانه وتعالى have mercy on her. She was more understanding of the matter than you. You must offer a camel as expiation, but nothing is required of her."
