Chapter on Acts That Necessitate Purification

Narrated by al-Abbas, from Abdullah ibn al-Mughirah, from Ibn Miskan, from Laith al-Muradi: I said to Abu Abdillah عليه السلام: “A man has boils and sores, and his skin and clothes are covered with blood and pus. Are his clothes regarded as part of his skin?” Imam عليه السلام said: “He should pray in his clothes, and there is nothing upon him, nor does he need to wash them.”
