Chapter on Purifying Clothes and Other Items From Impurities

وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ سَوْرَةَ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ اَلْحَائِضِ أَ تَغْسِلُ ثِيَابَهَا اَلَّتِي لَبِسَتْهَا فِي طَمْثِهَا قَالَ« تَغْسِلُ مَا أَصَابَ ثِيَابَهَا مِنَ اَلدَّمِ وَ تَدَعُ مَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ» قُلْتُ لَهُ وَ قَدْ عَرِقَتْ فِيهَا قَالَ« إِنَّ اَلْعَرَقَ لَيْسَ مِنَ اَلْحِيضَةِ».
The narration reported by ‘Ali ibn al-Hasan ibn Faddal, from Muhammad ibn ‘Ali, from al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, from Hisham ibn Salim, from Sawrah ibn Kulayb, states: I asked Abu ‘Abdullah عليه السلام about a menstruating woman - should she wash the clothes she wore during her menstrual period? Imam عليه السلام said: "She should wash whatever part of her clothes was stained with blood and leave the rest." I said to Imam عليه السلام: "But she has sweated in them." Imam عليه السلام replied: "Sweat is not from menstruation."
