From him, from Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn ibn Abi Al-Khattab, from Dhubyan ibn Hakim, from Musa ibn Ukayl Al-Numeiri, from Al-‘Ala ibn Sayabah, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: Imam عليه السلام was asked regarding a well that had been enclosed, and a man fell into it and died, and it was not possible to remove him (his body) from the well. Imam عليه السلام was asked whether one could perform ablution from that well. Imam عليه السلام said: "No, ablution should not be performed from it. It should be abandoned and made into a grave. However, if it is possible to remove him, he should be removed, washed, and buried. For Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, said, "The sanctity of a Muslim, whether dead or alive, is the same."
