English translation
726. Anas bin Mālik narrated that a man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "My eyes are bothering me, can I use Kuhl while I am fasting?" He said: "Yes." (Da'if) (He said:) There is something on this topic from Abū Rāfi'. Abū 'Eisā said: The chain for the Hadīth of Anas is not strong, and there is nothing authentic from the Prophet ﷺ about this topic. Abū 'Ātikah (one of the narrators) was graded weak. The people of knowledge differ over the fasting person using Kuhl; some of them disliked it, this is the view of Sufyān, Ibn Al-Mubārak, Aḥmad, and Ishāq. Some of the people of knowledge allowed Kuhl for the fasting person, and this is the view of Ash-Shāfi'i.
