Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 6
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي مَحْمُودٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلرَّجُلُ يُجْنِبُ فَيُصِيبُ جَسَدَهُ وَ رَأْسَهُ اَلْخَلُوقُ وَ اَلطِّيبُ وَ اَلشَّيْءُ اَللَّزِقُ مِثْلُ عِلْكِ اَلرُّومِ وَ اَلطَّرَارِ وَ مَا أَشْبَهَهُ فَيَغْتَسِلُ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ وَجَدَ شَيْئاً فِي جَسَدِهِ قَدْ بَقِيَ مِنْ أَثَرِ اَلْخَلُوقِ وَ اَلطِّيبِ وَ غَيْرِهِ فَقَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ».
Narrated by Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ibrahim ibn Abi Mahmoud, who said:
I said to al-Ridha عليه السلام: "If a person becomes junub (in a state of major ritual impurity) and substances such as saffron paste (khiluq), perfume, or sticky substances like Roman gum or similar items touch his body or head, and he performs ghusl (ritual bath), but after completing it, he finds some traces of these substances remaining on his body - what should he do?" Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no harm."
