[7] مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ...

Mohammed Ibn Yahya has narrated from Mohammed ibn Al-Hussain, who from Abd Al-Rahman Abu Hashim, who from Salim ibn Mukram, who from Saad Al-Iskaf, who says: Abu Jafar -asws was asked about the loops and knots that women form out of their hairs on their head and join it with their hairs. He -asws (the Imam -asws ) said: It is not unlawful if it is for the beautification before her husband.

I (the narrator) asked: We are told that Rasool Allah -saww condemned the one who joins and the one joined with.’ He -asws (the Imam -asws ) said: It is not about this case. Rasool Allah -saww condemned the women who commits fornication when she is young, and upon becoming old she leads women to men for unlawful acts; thus, such woman is called, ‘one who joins and the one who is joined with’, are condemned.

A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Mohammed ibn Isa, who from ibn Mahbub, who from Jamil ibn Darraj, who from Fudayl ibn Yasar, who says: This is regarding my question before Abu Abd Allah -asws about the arms of women, if they are (within the limits) of the beautification about which Allah -azwj has Said: … they must not expose their beauty except for their husband. (24:31) .

He -asws (the Imam -asws ) said: Yes, whatever must be covered with the scarf is of the beauty and whatever is above their bracelet (wrist/ankle) is of their beauty.
