Treatment of Patients in the State of al-’Ihram, Such as Wounds and So On

8. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from ‘Imran al-Halabiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about a man who is in the state of Ihram with a wound and treats it with a medicine which has saffron. He (the Imam) said, ‘If saffron is overwhelming, it is not permissible; but if the medicine is overwhelming, it is not harmful.’”
