Al-Azimabadi — Awn al-Ma'bud

( مِنْ دَاء كَانَ بِهِ ) : أَيْ مِنْ مَرَض. وَلَفْظ الْبُخَارِيّ وَمُسْلِم فِي وَسَط رَأْسه مِنْ رِوَايَة اِبْن بُحَيْنَة. قَالَ النَّوَوِيّ : فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيث دَلِيل لِجَوَازِ الْحِجَامَة لِلْمُحْرِمِ , وَقَدْ أَجْمَعَ الْعُلَمَاء عَلَى جَوَازهَا لَهُ فِي الرَّأْس وَغَيْره إِذَا كَانَ لَهُ عُذْر فِي ذَلِكَ وَقَطْع الشَّعْر حِينَئِذٍ , لَكِنْ عَلَيْهِ الْفِدْيَة لِقَطْعِ الشَّعْر فَإِنْ لَمْ يَقْطَع فَلَا فِدْيَة عَلَيْهِ. وَدَلِيل الْمَسْأَلَة قَوْله تَعَالَى { فَمَنْ كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ بِهِ أَذًى مِنْ رَأْسِهِ فَفِدْيَةٌ } الْآيَة. وَهَذَا الْحَدِيث مَحْمُول عَلَى أَنَّ النَّبِيّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ لَهُ عُذْر فِي الْحِجَامَة فِي وَسَط الرَّأْس لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَنْفَكّ…
