وَ قَالَ لَهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ: اَلْمُحْرِمُ يَحُكُّ رَأْسَهُ فَتَسْقُطُ اَلْقَمْلَةُ وَ اَلثِّنْتَانِ فَقَالَ «لاَ شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ وَ لاَ يُعِيدُهَا» قَالَ كَيْفَ يَحُكُّ اَلْمُحْرِمُ قَالَ «بِأَظْفَارِهِ مَا لَمْ يُدْمِ وَ لاَ يَقْطَعْ شَعْرَهُ».

Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar asked him about a person in the state of ihram who scratches their head, causing one or two lice to fall off. Imam (a.s) said: "There is no penalty upon them, nor do they need to replace the lice." He asked: "How should the person in ihram scratch?" Imam (a.s) replied: "With their nails, as long as they do not cause bleeding or cut any hair."
