Chapter on Purifying Clothes and Other Items From Impurities

مَا أَخْبَرَنِي بِهِ الشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ: سَأَلْتُهُ هَلْ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يُمَسَّ الثَّعْلَبُ وَالأَرْنَبُ أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنَ السِّبَاعِ حَيًّا أَوْ مَيِّتًا؟ قَالَ: لَا يَضُرُّهُ، وَلَكِنْ يَغْسِلُ يَدَهُ.
Narrated to me by the Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, from Abu Ja’far Muhammad bin Ali, from Muhammad bin Al-Hasan, from Ahmad bin Idris, from Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Yahya, from Muhammad bin Isa, from Yunus bin Abdul-Rahman, from some of his companions, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: I asked Imam عليه السلام: "Is it permissible to touch a fox, a rabbit, or any predatory animal, whether alive or dead?" Imam عليه السلام said: "It does not harm him, but he should wash his hand."
