1ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ الْمُتَمَتِّعِ إِذَا حَلَقَ رَأْسَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَزُورَ الْبَيْتَ يَطْلِيهِ بِالْحِنَّاءِ قَالَ نَعَمْ الْحِنَّاءُ وَالثِّيَابُ وَالطِّيبُ وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ إِلاَّ النِّسَاءَ رَدَّدَهَا عَلَيَّ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاثَةً قَالَ وَسَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْهَا فَقَالَ نَعَمْ الْحِنَّاءُ وَالثِّيَابُ وَالطِّيبُ وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ إِلاَّ النِّسَاءَ.

1. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from Sa‘id ibn Yasar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about a man who is for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) after shaving, before visiting the House: if he can apply dyes. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, dyes, clothes, perfumes and everything becomes permissible except women.’ He (the Imam) repeated it twice or three times. I asked abu al-Hassan , about it and he (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, dyes, clothes, perfumes and everything becomes permissible except women.’”
