Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from ibn Faddal from Yunus ibn Ya’qub from ibn Numayr, Mawla’ al-Harith ibn al-Mughirah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, up to what age a child can be given Ghusl (bath) by women? He (the Imam) replied, ‘It is up to three years of age.’”
