كَتَبْتُ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ ع هَلْ يَجْرِي دَمُ الْبَقِ مَجْرَى دَمِ الْبَرَاغِيثِ وَ هَلْ يَجُوزُ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَقِيسَ بِدَمِ الْبَقِّ عَلَى الْبَرَاغِيثِ فَيُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ وَ أَنْ يَقِيسَ عَلَى نَحْوِ هَذَا فَيَعْمَلَ بِهِ فَوَقَّعَ ع يَجُوزُ الصَّلَاةُ وَ الطُّهْرُ مِنْهُ أَفْضَلُ.

9. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn al-Rayyan who has said the following: “I once wrote to the man (a.s.), asking, ‘Is the blood of bugs like the blood of fleas? Is it permissible for one to consider blood of bugs like that of fleas, perform Salah (prayer) with it and analogize to act upon such analogy?’ He (the Imam) wrote with his signature, ‘It is permissible to perform Salah (prayer) with it, but washing is better.’”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
