Chapter on Acts That Necessitate Purification

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلرَّازِيِّ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ عُمَرَ مَوْلَى اَلْأَنْصَارِ: أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ يُصَافِحَ اَلْمَجُوسِيَّ فَقَالَ« لاَ» فَسَأَلَهُ أَ يَتَوَضَّأُ إِذَا صَافَحَهُمْ قَالَ« نَعَمْ إِنَّ مُصَافَحَتَهُمْ تَنْقُضُ اَلْوُضُوءَ».
Abu Abdullah al-Razi narrated from al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Abi Hamzah, from Saif ibn Amira, from Isa ibn Umar, the servant of the Ansar: He (Narrator) asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about whether it is permissible for a man to shake hands with a Magian (Zoroastrian). Abu Abdullah عليه السلام replied: "No." Then he asked: "Should he perform ablution (wudu) if he shakes hands with them?" Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said: "Yes, shaking hands with them invalidates the ablution."
