Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 25
وَ سَأَلَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ مُوسَى اَلسَّابَاطِيُّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ إِذَا مَاتَتْ فِي نِفَاسِهَا كَيْفَ تُغَسَّلُ قَالَ «تُغَسَّلُ مِثْلَ مَا تُغَسَّلُ اَلطَّاهِرَةُ وَ كَذَلِكَ اَلْحَائِضُ وَ كَذَلِكَ اَلْجُنُبُ إِنَّمَا يُغَسَّلُ غُسْلاً وَاحِداً.
Ammar ibn Musa al-Sabati asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام about a woman who dies in a state of postpartum bleeding (nifas). Imam عليه السلام said: "She is washed just like a pure woman is washed, as is the case for a menstruating woman or someone in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah). They are washed with one washing."
