What Defiles Clothing and the Body

وَ سَأَلَ حَكَمُ بْنُ حُكَيْمٍ اِبْنُ أَخِي خَلاَّدٍ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُولُ فَلاَ أُصِيبُ اَلْمَاءَ وَ قَدْ أَصَابَ يَدِي شَيْءٌ مِنَ اَلْبَوْلِ فَأَمْسَحُهُ بِالْحَائِطِ وَ بِالتُّرَابِ ثُمَّ تَعْرَقُ يَدِي فَأَمَسُّ وَجْهِي أَوْ بَعْضَ جَسَدِي أَوْ يُصِيبُ ثَوْبِي فَقَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ.
Hakam ibn al-Hakim Akhi Khallad asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام, saying to him: 'I urinate and do not find water, and some urine gets on my hand. I then wipe it on the wall or with dust. Later, my hand sweats, and I touch my face or some part of my body, or it touches my clothing.' Imam عليه السلام said: 'There is no harm in it.'"
