The Case of Allowing One’s Hairs to Grow When One Decides to Perform al-Hajj and al-Umrah
2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلاءِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ أَ يَأْخُذُ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ فِي شَوَّالٍ كُلِّهِ مَا لَمْ يَرَ الْهِلالَ قَالَ لا بَأْسَ مَا لَمْ يَرَ الْهِلالَ.
2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from al-Husayn ibn abu al-‘Ala’ who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about a man who wants to go for al-Hajj, if he can shave all of his head before seeing the new moon. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful before seeing the new moon. ‘“
