Chapter on What is Permissible and Impermissible to Pray in - of Clothing and Place
عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَأْتِي اَلسُّوقَ فَيَشْتَرِي جُبَّةَ فِرَاءٍ لاَ يَدْرِي أَ ذَكِيَّةٌ هِيَ أَمْ غَيْرُ ذَكِيَّةٍ أَ يُصَلِّي فِيهَا قَالَ« نَعَمْ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمُ اَلْمَسْأَلَةُ إِنَّ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَانَ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ اَلْخَوَارِجَ ضَيَّقُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ بِجَهَالَتِهِمْ إِنَّ اَلدِّينَ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ»»
From him, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr, who said:
I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who goes to the market and buys a fur cloak but does not know whether it is from a lawfully slaughtered animal or not, may he pray in it? Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes. You are not required to ask. Abu Ja‘far, peace be upon him, used to say: 'Indeed, the Khawarij imposed restrictions upon themselves out of their ignorance. Surely, the religion is broader than that.'"
