Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 3
وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْجُنُبِ يَحْمِلُ الرَّكْوَةَ أَوِ التَّوْرَ فَيُدْخِلُ إِصْبَعَهُ فِيهِ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَتْ يَدُهُ قَذِرَةً فَلْيُهْرِقْهُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ لَمْ يُصِبْهَا قَذَرٌ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ مِنْهُ، هَذَا مِمَّا قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مَا جَعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ مِنْ حَرَجٍ
And through this chain of narration, from Al-Husayn bin Sa'id, from Ibn Sinan, from Ibn Muskan, from Abu Basir, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said:
I asked Imam عليه السلام about a person in a state of janabah (major ritual impurity) who carries a jug or basin and places his finger into it. Imam عليه السلام said: 'If his hand is impure, he should pour out the water. But if no impurity has touched his hand, he may use it for ghusl (ritual bathing). This is in accordance with Allah’s سبحانه وتعالى statement: "He has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty" (Surah Al-Hajj 22:78).'
