Chapter on Purification of the Body and Clothes From Impurities

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ خِنْزِيرٍ أَصَابَ ثَوْباً وَ هُوَ جَافٌّ هَلْ تَصْلُحُ اَلصَّلاَةُ فِيهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَغْسِلَهُ قَالَ« نَعَمْ يَنْضِحُهُ بِالْمَاءِ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ» وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْفَأْرَةِ وَ اَلدَّجَاجَةِ وَ اَلْحَمَامِ وَ أَشْبَاهِهَا تَطَأُ اَلْعَذِرَةَ ثُمَّ تَطَأُ اَلثَّوْبَ أَ يُغْسَلُ قَالَ« إِنْ كَانَ اِسْتَبَانَ مِنْ أَثَرِهِ شَيْءٌ فَاغْسِلْهُ وَ إِلاَّ فَلاَ بَأْسَ».
Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Ahmad, from Musa ibn Al-Qasim, from Ali ibn Muhammad, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a pig that touches a garment while it is dry - can one pray in it before washing it? Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, he should sprinkle it with water and then pray in it." I also asked Imam عليه السلام about a mouse, a chicken, a pigeon, and similar animals that step on feces and then step on a garment - should it be washed? Imam عليه السلام said: "If any trace of it is visible, then wash it. Otherwise, there is no harm."
