Chapter on Rules of Janabah and Methods of Purification

وَ أَخْبَرَنِي اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَبِي اَلْقَاسِمِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْفُضَيْلِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ تُعَانِقُ زَوْجَهَا مِنْ خَلْفِهِ فَتَتَحَرَّكُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَتَأْتِيهَا اَلشَّهْوَةُ فَتُنْزِلُ اَلْمَاءَ عَلَيْهَا اَلْغُسْلُ أَوْ لاَ يَجِبُ عَلَيْهَا اَلْغُسْلُ قَالَ« إِذَا جَاءَتِ اَلشَّهْوَةُ فَأَنْزَلَتِ اَلْمَاءَ وَجَبَ عَلَيْهَا اَلْغُسْلُ».
The Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, narrated to me from Abu al-Qasim Ja’far ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Ya’qub, from al-Husayn ibn Muhammad, from Abdullah ibn Amir, from Ali ibn Mahziyar, from al-Husayn ibn Sa’id, from Muhammad ibn al-Fudhayl, who said: I asked Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام about a woman who embraces her husband from behind, moves on his back, feels arousal, and ejaculates. Is ghusl obligatory upon her or not? Imam عليه السلام said: "If she feels arousal and ejaculates, ghusl becomes obligatory upon her."
