Chapter on Rules of Janabah and Methods of Purification

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ كَرِبٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَغْتَسِلُ مِنَ اَلْجَنَابَةِ أَ يَغْسِلُ رِجْلَيْهِ بَعْدَ اَلْغُسْلِ فَقَالَ« إِنْ كَانَ يَغْتَسِلُ فِي مَكَانٍ يَسِيلُ اَلْمَاءُ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ فَلاَ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ لَمْ يَغْسِلْهُمَا وَ إِنْ كَانَ يَغْتَسِلُ فِي مَكَانٍ تَسْتَنْقِعُ رِجْلاَهُ فِي اَلْمَاءِ فَلْيَغْسِلْهُمَا.
Narrated by Muhammad ibn Ya'qub, from Muhammad ibn Yahya, from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn, from Hammad, from Bakr ibn Karib, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who performs ghusl for janabah (major ritual impurity). Should he wash his feet after the ghusl? Imam عليه السلام said: "If he performs ghusl in a place where the water flows over his feet, then there is no need for him to wash them. But if he performs ghusl in a place where his feet remain immersed in the water, then he should wash them."
