The Case of One Who Covers His Head in the State of al-’Ihram, or His Face Intentionally or Due to Forgetfulness
1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَسَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ قُلْتُ الْمُحْرِمُ يُؤْذِيهِ الذُّبَابُ حِينَ يُرِيدُ النَّوْمَ يُغَطِّي وَجْهَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَلا يُخَمِّرْ رَأْسَهُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ عِنْدَ النَّوْمِ لا بَأْسَ بِأَنْ تُغَطِّيَ وَجْهَهَا كُلَّهُ عِنْدَ النَّوْمِ.
1. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from Zurarah who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ja’far عليه السلام, about a man who covers his face when sleeping because of flies that bother him. He (the Imam) said, ’Yes, he can do so, but must not cover his head; and women are permitted to cover their faces when they sleep.”’
