Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 6
فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ اَلصَّفَّارُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ نُوحِ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَمَّنْ رَوَاهُ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ هَلْ عَلَى اَلْمَرْأَةِ غُسْلٌ مِنْ جَنَابَتِهَا إِذَا لَمْ يَأْتِهَا اَلرَّجُلُ قَالَ« لاَ وَ أَيُّكُمْ يَرْضَى أَنْ يَرَى أَوْ يَصْبِرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَنْ يَرَى اِبْنَتَهُ أَوْ أُخْتَهُ أَوْ أُمَّهُ أَوْ زَوْجَتَهُ أَوْ أَحَداً مِنْ قَرَابَتِهِ قَائِمَةً تَغْتَسِلُ فَيَقُولَ مَالَكِ فَتَقُولَ اِحْتَلَمْتُ وَ لَيْسَ لَهَا بَعْلٌ» ثُمَّ قَالَ« لاَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِنَّ ذَلِكَ وَ قَدْ وَضَعَ اَللَّهُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْكُمْ قَالَ« وَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ جُنُباً فَاطَّهَّرُوا» وَ لَمْ يَقُلْ ذَلِكَ لَهُنَّ».
As for the narration reported by al-Saffar, from Ibrahim ibn Hashim, from Nuh ibn Shu’ayb, from someone who narrated it from Ubayd ibn Zurara, who said:
I said to Imam عليه السلام: 'Is ghusl obligatory upon a woman due to her janabah if a man has not approached her?' Imam عليه السلام replied: 'No. And who among you would be pleased or patient with seeing his daughter, sister, mother, wife, or any of his female relatives standing and performing ghusl and then being asked, "What happened?" and replying, "I had a wet dream," while she has no husband?' Then Imam عليه السلام said: 'No, it is not obligatory upon them. Allah سبحانه وتعالى has placed that obligation upon you (men), as Allah سبحانه وتعالى said: "And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselves" (Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:6) and Allah سبحانه وتعالى did not say this to them (women).'"
