Ibrahim bin Abdullah narrates from his father: There was a disagreement between Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas and Sayyiduna Miswar bin Makhramah regarding whether a person in the state of ihram can wash his head or not. So they sent me to Hazrat Ayub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) to find out how he had seen the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) do it—whether the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to wash his head while in the state of ihram or not. So Sayyiduna Ayub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) poured water over his head, moved his hand forward and backward, and then brought it back from behind.
