Chapter on the Etiquettes of the Fasting Person, What Invalidates the Fast, and What Does Not Invalidate it
وَ سَأَلَ حَنَانُ بْنُ سَدِيرٍ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلصَّائِمِ يَسْتَنْقِعُ فِي اَلْمَاءِ قَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ وَ لَكِنْ لاَ يَغْمِسْ وَ اَلْمَرْأَةُ لاَ تَسْتَنْقِعُ فِي اَلْمَاءِ لِأَنَّهَا تَحْمِلُ اَلْمَاءَ بِقُبُلِهَا».
Hanan ibn Sadir asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a fasting person immersing himself in water. Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no harm, but he should not submerge his head. As for a woman, she should not immerse herself in water because it may carry water into her private part."
