Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr Muhammad ibn ‘Isma‘il has narrated, from af-Fadf ibn Shadhan from Safwan ibn Yahya and Ibn Abi ‘Umayr and A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al- Husayn ibn Sa’id, from Fadalah ibn abu Ayyub and Fiammad ibn ‘Isa all, from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When you complete your Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al- Marwah and you are for al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous), you must do Taqsir (cutting some hair or finger nails and so on).

Cut certain amount of your hairs from the sides and beard, take from your mustache, and cut something from your nails and leave something of them for your al-Hajj. When you do this you have come out of the state of Ihram, thus all things unlawful for you in the state of Ihram are now lawful for you, thereafter perform Tawaf around the House optionally as much as you like.”’
