Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 21
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فِي الْبِئْرِ يَكُونُ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ الْكُنِيفِ خَمْسَةُ أَذْرُعٍ وَأَقَلُّ وَأَكْثَرُ، يَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْهَا؟ قَالَ: لَيْسَ يُكْرَهُ مِنْ قُرْبٍ وَلَا بُعْدٍ، يَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْهَا وَيَغْتَسِلُ مَا لَمْ يَتَغَيَّرِ الْمَاءُ.
Ahmad ibn Idris, from Muhammad ibn Ahmad, from Abbad ibn Sulayman, from Sa’d ibn Sa’d, from Muhammad ibn Al-Qasim:
Abu Al-Hasan عليه السلام was asked regarding a well that is five cubits or less, or more, away from a toilet. Imam عليه السلام was asked: "Can one perform wudu (ablution) from it?" Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no dislike, whether near or far. One may perform wudu and ghusl (ritual purification) from it, as long as the water does not change."
