Chapter on What is Permissible and Impermissible to Pray in - of Clothing and Place
رَوَى سَعْدٌ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: سَأَلَ أَبِي أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ أَنَا حَاضِرٌ أَنِّي أُعِيرُ اَلذِّمِّيَّ ثَوْبِي وَ أَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ يَشْرَبُ اَلْخَمْرَ وَ يَأْكُلُ لَحْمَ اَلْخِنْزِيرِ فَيَرُدُّ عَلَيَّ فَأَغْسِلُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« صَلِّ فِيهِ وَ لاَ تَغْسِلْهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّكَ أَعَرْتَهُ إِيَّاهُ وَ هُوَ طَاهِرٌ وَ لَمْ تَسْتَيْقِنْ أَنَّهُ نَجَّسَهُ فَلاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ حَتَّى تَسْتَيْقِنَ أَنَّهُ نَجَّسَهُ»
Sa‘d narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hasan ibn Mahbub from Abdullah ibn Sinan, who said:
My father asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, and I was present, saying: “I lend my garment to a dhimmi (non-Muslim under protection), and I know that he drinks wine and eats pork. When he returns it to me, I wash it before praying in it.” Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: "Pray in it and do not wash it because of that. You lent it to him while it was pure, and you have no certainty that he made it impure. So there is no harm in praying in it until you are certain that he has made it impure."
