Chapter on Obligatory and Recommended Ritual Washing

وَ بِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ سَالِمٍ اَلْأَحْمَرِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ أَ عَلَيْهَا غُسْلٌ مِثْلُ غُسْلِ اَلْجُنُبِ قَالَ« نَعَمْ يَعْنِي اَلْحَائِضَ».
Through this chain of narration, from Ali ibn al-Hasan ibn Faddal, from Ali ibn Asbat, from his uncle Ya’qub ibn Salim al-Ahmar, from Abu Basir, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام: 'Does she (a menstruating woman) have to perform a ghusl similar to the ghusl for janabah?' Imam عليه السلام replied: 'Yes, (meaning the menstruating woman).'"
