أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي , عَنْ جَدِّي، وَكَانَ جَدِّي قَدْ أُتِيَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَسَحَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، وَقَالَ: "لَا تَكْتَحِلْ بِالنَّهَارِ وَأَنْتَ صَائِمٌ، اكْتَحِلْ لَيْلًا، بِالْإِثْمِدِ، فَإِنَّهُ يَجْلُو الْبَصَرَ وَيُنْبِتُ الشَّعَرَ" . قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد: لَا أَرَى بِالْكُحْلِ بَأْسًا.
Abdur Rahman bin Nu’man Abu Nu’man Ansari narrated that my father narrated from my grandfather that my grandfather was brought to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) passed his hand over his head and said: “If you are fasting, do not apply kohl during the day, but apply ithmid kohl at night, for it sharpens the eyesight and promotes hair growth.” Imam Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I do not see any harm in applying kohl while fasting.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 1770)
Some scholars have considered applying kohl (surma) while fasting to be disliked (makruh); the aforementioned hadith also indicates this. However, according to Imam Ahmad and Ishaq rahimahumallah, it is permissible. This is also the position of the Ahl al-Hadith and Imam Darimi rahimahullah.
