Items Detestable to Use in the State of al-’Ihram

1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ لا تَنْظُرْ فِي الْمِرْآةِ وَأَنْتَ مُحْرِمٌ لأَنَّهُ مِنَ الزِّينَةِ وَلا تَكْتَحِلِ الْمَرْأَةُ الْمُحْرِمَةُ بِالسَّوَادِ إِنَّ السَّوَادَ زِينَةٌ.
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘You must not look into the mirror, while you are in the state of Ihram; it is of beautification. A woman in the state of Ihram must not use kohl (eye-shadows) with black color; black is beautification.’”
