Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 12
عَنْهُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنِ اَلنَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «لَبَنُ اَلْجَارِيَةِ وَ بَوْلُهَا يُغْسَلُ مِنْهُ اَلثَّوْبُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطْعَمَ لِأَنَّ لَبَنَهَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْ مَثَانَةِ أُمِّهَا وَ لَبَنُ اَلْغُلاَمِ لاَ يُغْسَلُ مِنْهُ اَلثَّوْبُ وَ لاَ مِنْ بَوْلِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَطْعَمَ لِأَنَّ لَبَنَ اَلْغُلاَمِ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ اَلْعَضُدَيْنِ وَ اَلْمَنْكِبَيْنِ».
Ibrahim ibn Hashim narrated from Al-Nawfali, from Al-Sakuni, from Imam Ja’far Al Sadiq عليه السلام, from his father Imam Al Baqir عليه السلام that (Imam) Ali عليه السلام said:
"The milk and urine of a female infant must be washed from clothing even before she eats solid food (weaned), because her milk originates from her mother’s bladder. However, the milk and urine of a male infant do not need to be washed from clothing before he eats solid food (weaned), because the milk of a male infant originates from his arms and shoulders."
