it is permissible, though he should not do so excessively. It has been narrated from Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was on his riding camel while in the state of Ihram, and he began to say (5):
As if its rider is a branch swaying with a fan, when it leans with him, or a drunkard (6)
Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest (7). This indicates permissibility, though the former is the superior virtue (8).
570 - Issue: He said: "And the Muhrim should not groom himself (i.e., remove lice), nor should he kill lice, but he may scratch his head and body gently."
There is a difference of opinion narrated from Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding the permissibility of killing lice. One view is its permissibility, because it is among the most annoying of vermin, so its killing is permitted like fleas and other harmful things. The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "Five are fawasiq (harmful creatures) which may be killed in the state of being free of Ihram and in the Sacred Precinct" (1), indicates by its meaning the permissibility of killing everything that harms human beings in their persons and their property. Another view is that killing it is forbidden. This is the apparent meaning of the words of al-Khiraqi, because one derives comfort by removing it from himself, so it is prohibited like cutting hair. Furthermore, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saw Ka'b ibn 'Ujrah with lice swarming over his face, so he said to him: "Shave your head" (2). So if...

مُباحٌ، ولا يُكْثِرْ، فقد رُوِىَ عن عمرَ، رَضِىَ اللهُ عنه، أنَّه كان على نَاقَةٍ له وهو مُحْرِمٌ، فجَعَلَ يقولُ (٥):
