Chapter on Water and Its Rules, and What is Permissible and Impermissible for Purification
فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْوُضُوءِ مِمَّا وَلَغَ اَلْكَلْبُ فِيهِ وَ اَلسِّنَّوْرُ أَوْ شَرِبَ مِنْهُ جَمَلٌ أَوْ دَابَّةٌ أَوْ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ أَ يُتَوَضَّأُ مِنْهُ أَوْ يُغْتَسَلُ قَالَ« نَعَمْ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَجِدَ غَيْرَهُ فَتَنَزَّهْ عَنْهُ».
I asked Imam عليه السلام about performing Wudu' (ablution) with water that a dog licked, or a cat, or a camel, or a beast, or something else drank from. Can it be used for Wudu' or Ghusl (ritual bathing)? Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, unless you find other water, in which case avoid it."
