اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

2 عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ علیه السلام عَنِ الصَّائِمِ يَصُبُّ فِي أُذُنِهِ الدُّهْنَ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ.

📚Al-Kafi, Vol. 4, p. 110

📚Al-Tahdhib, Vol. 4, p. 258

3 وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ: سَأَلَ ابْنُ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ علیه السلام وَ أَنَا أَسْمَعُ عَنِ الصَّائِمِ يَصُبُّ الدَّوَاءَ فِي أُذُنِهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ

📚Al-Tahdhib, Vol. 4, p. 311

📚Al-Istibsar, Vol. 2, p. 95

Hammad said: 'I heard Ibn Abi Ya'fur ask Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) about a fasting person who puts medicine in his ear.' He said: 'Yes.'

🌿🌿🌿

4 عَلِيُّ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ فِي كِتَابِهِ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ علیهماالسلام قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الصَّائِمِ هَلْ يَصْلُحُ لَهُ أَنْ يَصُبَّ فِي أُذُنِهِ الدُّهْنَ قَالَ إِذَا لَمْ يَدْخُلْ حَلْقَهُ فَلَا بَأْسَ.

📚Masail Ali ibn Ja'far, p. 110-23.

Ali ibn Ja'far in his book narrated from his brother Imam Musa ibn Ja'far (peace be upon them) that he asked him about a fasting person

if it is permissible for him to put oil in his ear. He said: 'There is no objection if it does not reach his throat!'

🌿🌿🌿

✅The permission to put medicine and oil in the ear for a fasting person, provided that it does not enter his throat, is obtained from the above narrations, to be the basis for the actions of those who, when they honorably visit the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) in front of their noble shrines, recite the Ziyarat Jamia Kabira, addressing them:

�آخِذٌ بِقَوْلِکُمْ عَامِلٌ بِأَمْرِکُمْ مُسْتَجِیرٌ بِکُمْ

☘️'I take your words and act upon your commands, and I seek refuge in you.'
