Chapter on Menstruation, Istihada (abnormal bleeding), and Nifas (postpartum bleeding)
عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي مَحْمُودٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلْجَارِيَةُ اَلنَّصْرَانِيَّةُ تَخْدُمُكَ وَ أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَا نَصْرَانِيَّةٌ لاَ تَتَوَضَّأُ وَ لاَ تَغْتَسِلُ مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ تَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهَا».
Ahmad narrated from Ibrahim ibn Abi Mahmoud, who said:
I said to Al-Ridha عليه السلام: “A Christian maidservant serves you, and you know that she is a Christian, does not perform wudu (ablution), and does not perform ghusl (ritual purification) after janabah (major impurity).” Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no harm; she washes her hands."
