5ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ الْمُحْرِمُ لا يَكْتَحِلْ إِلاَّ مِنْ وَجَعٍ وَقَالَ لا بَأْسَ بِأَنْ تَكْتَحِلَ وَأَنْتَ مُحْرِمٌ بِمَا لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ طِيبٌ يُوجَدُ رِيحُهُ فَأَمَّا لِلزِّينَةِ فَلا.
5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘One in the state of Ihram must not use kohl unless it is to cure pain.’ He (the Imam) has said, ‘Using kohl which does not have any perfume while one is in the state of Ihram is not harmful, however, for beautification it is not permissible.’”
