Chapter on Purifying Clothes and Other Items From Impurities

Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Yahya narrated from Ya’qub bin Yazid, from Al-Hasan bin Al-Mubarak, from Zakariyya bin Adam, who said: I asked Abu Al-Hasan عليه السلام about a drop of wine or intoxicating nabidh that falls into a pot containing a large amount of meat and broth. Imam عليه السلام said: "Pour out the broth, or give it to the People of the Book (Ahl al-Dhimma) or to a dog. As for the meat, wash it and eat it." I said: "What if a drop of blood falls into it?" Imam عليه السلام said: "The fire consumes the blood, if Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, wills." I said: "What if wine or nabidh falls into dough or blood?" Imam عليه السلام said: "It is spoiled." I said: "Can I sell it to Jews and Christians and inform them?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, because they deem it permissible to consume it." I said: "And what about foaming fermented drinks (fuqqa‘) - is it the same if it falls into something like that?" Imam عليه السلام said: "I dislike eating it if it falls into any of my food."
