Chapter on Purifying Clothes and Other Items From Impurities

فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي اَلْعَلاَءِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمَذْيِ يُصِيبُ اَلثَّوْبَ قَالَ« إِنْ عَرَفْتَ مَكَانَهُ فَاغْسِلْهُ وَ إِنْ خَفِيَ مَكَانُهُ عَلَيْكَ فَاغْسِلِ اَلثَّوْبَ كُلَّهُ».
Ahmad ibn Muhammad narrated from Ali ibn Al-Hakam, from Al-Husayn ibn Abi Al-Ala. He said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about madhy (pre-seminal fluid) that touches clothing. Imam عليه السلام said: "If you know its location, then wash it. But if its location is unknown to you, then wash the entire garment."
