مَا أَخْبَرَنِي بِهِ اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَبِي اَلْقَاسِمِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْجُنُبِ يَأْكُلُ وَ يَشْرَبُ وَ يَقْرَأُ اَلْقُرْآنَ قَالَ« نَعَمْ يَأْكُلُ وَ يَشْرَبُ وَ يَقْرَأُ اَلْقُرْآنَ وَ يَذْكُرُ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَا شَاءَ».
Narrated by the Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, from Abu al-Qasim Ja'far ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Ya'qub, from a group of our companions, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ibn Faddal, from Ibn Bukayr, who said:
I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a person in the state of major ritual impurity (junub) eating, drinking, and reciting the Quran. Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, he may eat, drink, recite the Quran, and remember Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Glorious, as much as he wishes."
