Seeking the Place to Relieve Oneself and the Etiquettes of Entering and Exiting
وَ سَأَلَ هِشَامُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ لَهُ: أَغْتَسِلُ مِنَ اَلْجَنَابَةِ وَ غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ فِي اَلْكَنِيفِ اَلَّذِي يُبَالُ فِيهِ وَ عَلَيَّ نَعْلٌ سِنْدِيَّةٌ فَأَغْتَسِلُ وَ عَلَيَّ اَلنَّعْلُ كَمَا هِيَ فَقَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ اَلْمَاءُ اَلَّذِي يَسِيلُ مِنْ جَسَدِكَ يُصِيبُ أَسْفَلَ قَدَمَيْكَ فَلاَ تَغْسِلْ أَسْفَلَ قَدَمَيْكَ.
Hisham ibn Salim asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام saying: "Is it permissible for me to perform ghusl (ritual washing) from major impurity (junub) and other reasons in a restroom where people urinate, while wearing Sindhi sandals?" Imam عليه السلام said: "If the water flowing from your body reaches the soles of your feet, then do not wash the soles of your feet”.
