مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلسِّنْدِيِّ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ صَلَّى رَكْعَةً عَلَى تَيَمُّمٍ ثُمَّ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ وَ مَعَهُ قِرْبَتَانِ مِنْ مَاءٍ قَالَ« يَقْطَعُ اَلصَّلاَةَ وَ يَتَوَضَّأُ ثُمَّ يَبْنِي عَلَى وَاحِدَةٍ».
Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub narrated from Ali ibn al-Sindi, from Hammad, from Hariz, from Zurara, from Abu Ja’far عليه السلام:
I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who prayed one rak'ah (unit of prayer) while performing tayammum (dry ablution), then another man arrived carrying two water skins. Imam Abu Ja’far عليه السلام said: "He should discontinue his prayer, perform wudu (ablution), and then resume the prayer, continuing from the one rak'ah he already performed."

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حُمْرَانَ وَ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُمَا سَأَلاَهُ عَنْ إِمَامِ قَوْمٍ أَصَابَتْهُ فِي سَفَرٍ جَنَابَةٌ وَ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ مِنَ اَلْمَاءِ مَا يَكْفِيهِ فِي اَلْغُسْلِ أَ يَتَوَضَّأُ وَ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ قَالَ« لاَ وَ لَكِنْ يَتَيَمَّمُ وَ يُصَلِّي فَإِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَعَالَى جَعَلَ اَلتُّرَابَ طَهُوراً كَمَا جَعَلَ اَلْمَاءَ طَهُوراً».
Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Ya’qub, from Ibn Abi Umair, from Muhammad ibn Humran and Jamil, narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام:
They both asked Imam عليه السلام about an Imam of a group who, while on a journey, experienced janabah (a state of major ritual impurity) and did not have enough water with him for ghusl (ritual purification). Should he perform wudu (ablution) and lead them in prayer? Imam عليه السلام said: "No, rather he should perform tayammum (dry ablution) and pray, for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, has made the earth a purifier just as He has made water a purifier."

عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ عَنِ اِبْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ أَمَّ قَوْماً وَ هُوَ جُنُبٌ وَ قَدْ تَيَمَّمَ وَ هُمْ عَلَى طَهُورٍ قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ فَإِذَا تَيَمَّمَ اَلرَّجُلُ فَلْيَكُنْ ذَلِكَ فِي آخِرِ وَقْتٍ فَإِنْ فَاتَهُ اَلْمَاءُ فَلَنْ تَفُوتَهُ اَلْأَرْضُ».
From him, from Al-Abbas, from Ibn Al-Mughira, from Abdullah ibn Bukayr, narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام:
I said to Imam عليه السلام: "A man led a group in prayer while he was in a state of janabah (major ritual impurity) and had performed tayammum (dry ablution), whereas they were in a state of purity." Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no problem. When a man performs tayammum, let it be at the end of the time (for prayer). For if he misses water, he will not miss the earth."

From him, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Al-Husayn, from Al-Qasim, from Al-Husayn ibn Abi Al-Ala, who said:
I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who becomes junub (in a state of major ritual impurity) and has only enough water to perform wudu (ablution) for prayer. Should he perform wudu with the water or perform tayammum (dry ablution)? Imam عليه السلام said: "He should perform tayammum. Do you not see that half of the purification has been made obligatory upon him?"

Al-Husayn, from Al-Nadr, from Ibn Sinan, narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام:
Imam عليه السلام was asked about a man who experienced janabah (major ritual impurity) while on a journey and had only a small amount of water, fearing that if he performed ghusl (ritual purification), he would become thirsty. Imam عليه السلام said: "If he fears thirst, then he should not spill a single drop of it and should instead perform tayammum (dry ablution) with the earth, for the earth is more beloved to me."

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Ali ibn Khalid, from Ahmad ibn Al-Hasan ibn Ali, from Amr ibn Sa’id, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from Ammar Al-Sabati, narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام:
I asked Imam عليه السلام about a woman who performs tayammum (dry ablution) after her menstruation - does she become permissible for her husband? Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes."

From him, from Ali ibn Al-Sindi, from Safwan, from Ishaq ibn Ammar, who said:

From him, from Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn, from Safwan, from Al-Ala, from Muhammad, narrated from one of the Imams عليه السلام:
Imam عليه السلام was asked about a man (regarding tayammum) who resides in a land for months where there is no water due to the pastures and the well-being of the camels. Imam عليه السلام said: "No."

From him, from Ahmad, from Al-Husayn, from Al-Hasan, from Zur’ah, from Sama’ah, who said:
I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who is in a desert and becomes junub (in a state of major ritual impurity) while having only one garment, and he becomes junub in it and does not find water. Imam عليه السلام said: "He should perform tayammum (dry ablution) and pray while naked, standing, and gesturing (for bowing and prostration)."

I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who has water with him while traveling but fears that it may not be enough.

I said to Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "A junub (one in a state of major ritual impurity) has a small amount of water with him, and if he uses it for ghusl (ritual purification), he fears thirst. Should he perform ghusl with it or perform tayammum (dry ablution)?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Rather, he should perform tayammum, and the same applies if he intends to perform wudu (ablution)."

Muhammad ibn Yahya, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Al-Barqi, from Sa’d ibn Sa’d, from Safwan, who said:
I asked Abu Al-Hasan عليه السلام about a man who needed to perform wudu (ablution) for prayer but could not find water, except for an amount sufficient for wudu, priced at one hundred dirhams or even one thousand dirhams, and he had the means to purchase it. Should he buy it and perform wudu, or should he perform tayammum (dry ablution)? Imam عليه السلام said: "No, rather he should buy it. A similar situation happened to me, and I bought it and performed wudu. That amount of money is not considered a great loss."

Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn, from Musa ibn Sa’dan, from Al-Husayn ibn Abi Al-Ala, from Al-Muthanna, from Al-Hasan Al-Sayqal, who said:
I said to Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "A man performed tayammum (dry ablution) and then began his prayer. While he was praying, a river passed by him, and he had already completed one rak’ah." Imam عليه السلام said: "He should perform ghusl (ritual purification) and restart the prayer." I said: "What if he had already completed the entire prayer?" Imam عليه السلام said: "He does not need to repeat it."

Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from Muhammad ibn Abd Al-Hamid, from Saif ibn Amira, from Mansur ibn Hazim, who said Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Halabi narrated:
Abu Abdullah عليه السلام was asked regarding a man who experienced janabah (major ritual impurity) while in the desert and had only one garment, which was stained with semen. Imam عليه السلام said: "He should perform tayammum (dry ablution), remove his garment, sit closely together (covering himself as much as possible), and pray by gesturing (for bowing and prostration)."

Muhammad ibn Ahmad, from Ahmad ibn Al-Hasan, from Amr ibn Sa’id, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from Ammar Al-Sabati, narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام:
Imam عليه السلام was asked about a man who has only one garment, in which prayer is not permissible, and he does not find water to wash it. What should he do? Imam عليه السلام said: "He should perform tayammum (dry ablution) and pray. Then, when he finds water, he should wash it and repeat the prayer."

لان الوجه في هذا الخبر حال الضرورة التي لا يتمكن معها من نزع الثوب من برد أو غيره فحينئذ يصلي فيه ويعيد بعد ذلك الصلاة.
This narration applies to a situation of necessity where he cannot remove the garment due to cold or other reasons. In such cases, he prays in it and later repeats the prayer.
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« إِذَا كَانَ اَلرَّجُلُ نَائِماً فِي اَلْمَسْجِدِ اَلْحَرَامِ أَوْ مَسْجِدِ اَلرَّسُولِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ فَاحْتَلَمَ فَأَصَابَتْهُ جَنَابَةٌ فَلْيَتَيَمَّمْ وَ لاَ يَمُرَّ فِي اَلْمَسْجِدِ إِلاَّ مُتَيَمِّماً وَ لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ يَمُرَّ فِي سَائِرِ اَلْمَسَاجِدِ وَ لاَ يَجْلِسْ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنَ اَلْمَسَاجِدِ».
Muhammad ibn Ahmad, from Ya’qub ibn Yazid, from Al-Nadr ibn Suwayd, from Abdullah ibn Sinan, from Abu Hamzah, who said:
Abu Ja’far عليه السلام said: "If a man is sleeping in Al-Masjid Al-Haram or the Mosque of the Messenger (may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family) and experiences a wet dream, resulting in janabah (major ritual impurity), he should perform tayammum (dry ablution) and should not pass through the mosque except in a state of tayammum. However, there is no harm in passing through other mosques, but he should not sit in any of the mosques."

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي رَجُلٍ مَعَهُ إِنَاءَانِ فِيهِمَا مَاءٌ فَوَقَعَ فِي أَحَدِهِمَا قَذَرٌ وَلاَ يَدْرِي أَيُّهُمَا هُوَ وَلَيْسَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى مَاءٍ غَيْرِهِ قَالَ« يُهَرِيقُهُمَا جَمِيعاً وَ يَتَيَمَّمُ».
From him, from Ahmad ibn Al-Hasan, from Amr ibn Sa’id, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from Ammar, narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام:
Imam عليه السلام was asked regarding a man who has two containers of water, and impurity falls into one of them, but he does not know which one it is, and he cannot find any other water. Imam عليه السلام said: "He should pour them both out and perform tayammum (dry ablution)."
