“We were with abu al-Hassan (a.s.), in the desert on our way to Baghdad. He (the Imam) said to us, ‘Today is Thursday, take Ghusl (bath) for Friday, tomorrow water will be scarce.’ We took Ghusl (bath) on Thursday for Friday.’”

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘It is necessary to take Ghusl (bath) on Friday, on a journey or at home. If one forgets it, one must do it again next day.’ It is narrated that one suffering from illness is excused.’”

“I asked him (the Imam), ‘How must a person take Ghusl (bath) because of sexual relation?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If one’s hand is not polluted, one should immerse it in water. One then should begin with one’s private parts and wash them clean with three handfuls of water, then pour three handfuls of water on one’s head,

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a woman who takes Ghusl (bath) because of sexual relation; then she finds man’s semen after Ghusl (bath). He (the Imam) said, ‘No, Ghusl (bath) is not necessary again.’”
سَأَلْتُهُ[2] عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُجْنِبُ ثُمَّ يَغْتَسِلُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبُولَ فَيَجِدُ بَلَلًا بَعْدَ مَا يَغْتَسِلُ قَالَ يُعِيدُ الْغُسْلَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ بَالَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ فَلَا يُعِيدُ غُسْلَهُ وَ لَكِنْ يَتَوَضَّأُ وَ يَسْتَنْجِي.
“I once asked the Imam about a man who experiences sexual relation; then takes Ghusl (bath) before urinating and finds wet spots after Ghusl (bath). He (the Imam) said, ‘He must take Ghusl (bath) again. Had he urinated before Ghusl (bath), he did not have to take Ghusl (bath) again; but he must take Wudu’ and cleanse h

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘If one after experiencing sexual relation likes to eat or drink, one must wash one’s hand, rinse one’s mouth, wash one’s face, then eat and drink.’”
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَمَّنْ قَرَأَ فِي الْمُصْحَفِ وَ هُوَ عَلَى غَيْرِ وُضُوءٍ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ وَ لَا يَمَسَّ الْكِتَابَ.
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about one who reads from a copy of al-Mushaf (the book) without Wudu’. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful, but one must not touch the book in such condition.’”
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الْجُنُبُ يَدَّهِنُ ثُمَّ يَغْتَسِلُ قَالَ لَا.
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘Can one after experiencing sexual relation, rub oil, then take Ghusl (bath). He (the Imam) said, ‘No, (it is not permissible).”’
قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا ع الرَّجُلُ يُجْنِبُ فَيُصِيبُ جَسَدَهُ وَ رَأْسَهُ الْخَلُوقُ[1] وَ الطِّيبُ وَ الشَّيْءُ اللَّكِدُ مِثْلُ عِلْكِ الرُّومِ وَ الطَّرَارِ وَ مَا أَشْبَهَهُ فَيَغْتَسِلُ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ وَجَدَ شَيْئاً قَدْ بَقِيَ فِي جَسَدِهِ مِنْ أَثَرِ الْخَلُوقِ وَ الطِّيبِ وَ غَيْرِهِ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ.
7. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ibrahim ibn abu Mahmud who has said the following: “I once asked al-Rida, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, ‘Is it permissible for one after experiencing sexual relation to come in contact with perfume, oils or such things as chewing-gum or freshener, then take Ghusl (bat
سَأَلْتُهُ[2] عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُجْنِبُ ثُمَّ يُرِيدُ النَّوْمَ قَالَ إِنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَتَوَضَّأَ فَلْيَفْعَلْ وَ الْغُسْلُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ وَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَإِنْ هُوَ نَامَ وَ لَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ وَ لَمْ يَغْتَسِلْ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.
“I once asked him (the Imam) about a man who experiences sexual relation and wants to sleep. He (the Imam) said, ‘If he likes he can take Wudu’. However, Ghusl (bath) is more desirable to me and I prefer it; and it is better than that, however, if he has gone to sleep without Wudu’ and without Ghusl (bath) there is not
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الْجُنُبِ يَعْرَقُ فِي ثَوْبِهِ أَوْ يَغْتَسِلُ فَيُعَانِقُ امْرَأَتَهُ وَ يُضَاجِعُهَا وَ هِيَ حَائِضٌ أَوْ جُنُبٌ فَيُصِيبُ جَسَدُهُ مِنْ عَرَقِهَا قَالَ هَذَا كُلُّهُ لَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ.
“I once asked abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), about one who has experienced sexual relation who perspires in his clothes or takes Ghusl (bath), then hugs his wife or sleeps next to her during her Hayd (menses) or has experienced sexual relation and her perspiration touches his body. He (the Imam) said, ‘All of such things are n
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ لَا نَرَى فِي الْمَذْيِ وُضُوءاً وَ لَا غَسْلًا مَا أَصَابَ الثَّوْبَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا فِي الْمَاءِ الْأَكْبَرِ[5].
“I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘Wudu’ is not necessary because of al-Madhiy (the pre-seminal fluid) nor is washing clothes which may have come in contact with it unless it is the major discharge of (semen).”’
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ أَلْبَانِ الْإِبِلِ وَ الْغَنَمِ وَ الْبَقَرِ وَ أَبْوَالِهَا وَ لُحُومِهَا فَقَالَ لَا تَوَضَّأْ مِنْهُ إِنْ أَصَابَكَ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ أَوْ ثَوْباً لَكَ فَلَا تَغْسِلْهُ إِلَّا أَنْ تَتَنَظَّفَ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ أَبْوَالِ الدَّوَابِّ وَ الْبِغَالِ وَ الْحَمِيرِ فَقَالَ اغْسِلْهُ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَعْلَمْ مَكَانَهُ فَاغْسِلِ الثَّوْبَ كُلَّهُ وَ إِنْ شَكَكْتَ فَانْضِحْهُ.
2. Hammad has narrated from Hariz from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “I once asked abu ’Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the milk of camels, sheep and cows and their urine and their meat. He (the Imam) said, ‘You must not take Wudu’ with the water which is mixed with any of such items. You do not ne
قَالَ: دَمُكَ أَنْظَفُ مِنْ دَمِ غَيْرِكَ إِذَا كَانَ فِي ثَوْبِكَ شِبْهُ النَّضْحِ مِنْ دَمِكَ فَلَا بَأْسَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ دَمُ غَيْرِكَ قَلِيلًا أَوْ كَثِيراً فَاغْسِلْهُ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that your blood to you is less unclean than other people’s blood. If you find like sprinkles of your blood on you, it is not harmful; but if it is other people’s blood, regardless of its being of a small or large quantity, you must wash it clean.’”
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَقَعُ ثَوْبُهُ عَلَى جَسَدِ الْمَيِّتِ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ غُسِّلَ فَلَا تَغْسِلْ مَا أَصَابَ ثَوْبَكَ مِنْهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ لَمْ يُغَسَّلْ فَاغْسِلْ مَا أَصَابَ ثَوْبَكَ مِنْهُ يَعْنِي إِذَا بَرَدَ الْمَيِّتُ[3].
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man whose clothes fall on a dead body. He (the Imam) said, ‘If the dead body is given Ghusl (bath), then it is not necessary to wash such clothes, but if it is not given Ghusl (bath) yet, one must wash such clothes - and that is, when the dead body has become cold.’”
قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ص لَا وُضُوءَ مِنْ مُوطَإٍ قَالَ النَّوْفَلِيُّ يَعْنِي مَا تَطَأُ عَلَيْهِ بِرِجْلِكَ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), has said, ‘Wudu’ is not valid from the place you walk on.’ Al-Nawfaliy has said, ‘It means the place on which one steps.’”
إِذَا لَمْ يَجِدِ الْمُسَافِرُ الْمَاءَ فَلْيَطْلُبْ[2] مَا دَامَ فِي الْوَقْتِ فَإِذَا خَافَ أَنْ يَفُوتَهُ الْوَقْتُ فَلْيَتَيَمَّمْ وَ لْيُصَلِّ فِي آخِرِ الْوَقْتِ فَإِذَا وَجَدَ الْمَاءَ فَلَا قَضَاءَ عَلَيْهِ وَ لْيَتَوَضَّأْ لِمَا يَسْتَقْبِلُ.
“One of the two Imam, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ‘If during a journey water cannot be found, one must search for water as long as there is time; but when there is fear for losing time, one must then take Tayammum to perform Salah (prayer) during the end of time just before it totally ends. If later water is found, th
