Chapter on Water and Its Rules

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْعَلَوِيِّ عَنْ الْعُمَرْكِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَامُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ رَعَفَ فَامْتَخَطَ فَصَارَ ذٰلِكَ الدَّمُ قِطَعًا صِغَارًا فَأَصَابَ إِنَاءَهُ، هَلْ يَصْلُحُ الْوُضُوءُ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ: إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْءٌ يَسْتَبِينُ فِي الْمَاءِ فَلَا بَأْسَ، فَإِنْ كَانَ شَيْئًا بَيِّنًا فَلَا يَتَوَضَّأْ مِنْهُ.
Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Muhammad ibn Ahmad Al-Alawi, from Al-Umarki, from Ali ibn Ja’far, from his brother Imam Musa ibn Ja’far عليه السلام, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who had a nosebleed, then blew his nose, causing the blood to form small clots that fell into his water container. Is it permissible to perform wudu (ablution) with that water? Imam عليه السلام said: "If nothing noticeable appears in the water, then there is no harm. But if something visible is present, then do not perform wudu with it."
