Chapter on Entering the Bathhouse, Its Etiquettes, and Recommended Practices

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلْحَمَّامُ يَغْتَسِلُ فِيهِ اَلْجُنُبُ وَ غَيْرُهُ أَ غْتَسِلُ مِنْ مَائِهِ قَالَ« نَعَمْ لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ مِنْهُ اَلْجُنُبُ وَ لَقَدِ اِغْتَسَلْتُ فِيهِ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ فَغَسَلْتُ رِجْلِي وَ مَا غَسَلْتُهُمَا إِلاَّ مِمَّا لَزِقَ بِهِمَا مِنَ اَلتُّرَابِ».
Al-Husayn bin Sa’eed, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Abu Ayyub, from Muhammad bin Muslim, who said: I said to Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: “In the bathhouse, people in a state of janabah and others perform ghusl. Can I perform ghusl using its water?” Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, there is no harm in a person in janabah performing ghusl with it. Indeed, I have performed ghusl in it, and then I came and washed my feet - not because of impurity, but only because of the dirt that stuck to them."
