Reason Necessitating Ghusl (bath) for Men and Women
4ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ الله الْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) عَنِ الْمُفَخِّذِ عَلَيْهِ غُسْلٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِذَا أَنْزَلَ.
4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman from ‘Ubayd Allah al-Halabiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, Alayhi al-Salam, about one’s foreplay and Ghusl (bath). He (the Imam) said, ‘There is Ghusl (bath) obligatory if semen discharge takes place.’”
5ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ الأشْعَرِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ الرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَلْمِسُ فَرْجَ جَارِيَتِهِ حَتَّى تُنْزِلَ الْمَاءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُبَاشِرَ يَعْبَثُ بِهَا بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى تُنْزِلَ قَالَ إِذَا أَنْزَلَتْ مِنْ شَهْوَةٍ فَعَلَيْهَا الْغُسْلُ.
5. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Tsma‘il ibn Sa‘d al-Ash’ariy who has said the following: “I once asked al-Rida, Alayhi al-Salam, about a man who touches and plays by his hand with the private parts of his slave-girl without contact of his private part until she feels discharge, is Ghusl (bath) necessary on her? He (the Imam) said, ‘Ghusl (bath) is necessary if discharge is accompanied by orgasm.’”
6ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ الرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُجَامِعُ الْمَرْأَةَ فِيمَا دُونَ الْفَرْجِ وَتُنْزِلُ الْمَرْأَةُ عَلَيْهَا غُسْلٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ.
6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Tsma‘il ibn Bazi‘ who has said the following: “I once asked al-Rida, Alayhi al-Salam, about a man who allows intercourse with a woman to take place but not in vagina, and she feels discharges, is Ghusl (bath) necessary on her? He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, Ghusl (bath) is necessary for her.’”
7ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ تُعَانِقُ زَوْجَهَا مِنْ خَلْفِهِ فَتَحَرَّكُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَتَأْتِيهَا الشَّهْوَةُ فَتُنْزِلُ الْمَاءَ عَلَيْهَا الْغُسْلُ أَوْ لاَ يَجِبُ عَلَيْهَا الْغُسْلُ قَالَ إِذَا جَاءَتْهَا الشَّهْوَةُ فَأَنْزَلَتِ الْمَاءَ وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ الْغُسْلُ.
7. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amir from Ali ibn Mahziyar from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about the case of a woman who hugs her husband from his backside. She moves and experiences orgasm and discharge, is Ghusl (bath) necessary on her? He (the Imam) said, ‘If she experiences orgasm and discharge, Ghusl (bath) becomes necessary.”’
8ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ رَفَعَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ إِذَا أَتَى الرَّجُلُ الْمَرْأَةَ فِي دُبُرِهَا فَلَمْ يُنْزِلْ فَلاَ غُسْلَ عَلَيْهِمَا وَإِنْ أَنْزَلَ فَعَلَيْهِ الْغُسْلُ وَلاَ غُسْلَ عَلَيْهَا.
8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Barqiy in a marfu‘ manner who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If a man allows intercourse to take place in a woman’s anus without discharge of semen, Ghusl (bath) is not necessary on neither one of them, but if he discharges, Ghusl (bath) is necessary on him but it is not necessary on the woman.’”

Wet Dreams of Men and Women
1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلاَءِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَرَى فِي الْمَنَامِ حَتَّى يَجِدَ الشَّهْوَةَ فَهُوَ يَرَى أَنَّهُ قَدِ احْتَلَمَ فَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ لَمْ يَرَ فِي ثَوْبِهِ الْمَاءَ وَلاَ فِي جَسَدِهِ قَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ الْغُسْلُ وَقَالَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّمَا الْغُسْلُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ الأكْبَرِ فَإِذَا رَأَى فِي مَنَامِهِ وَلَمْ يَرَ الْمَاءَ الأكْبَرَ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ غُسْلٌ.
1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Ali ibn al-Hakam from al-Husayn ibn abu al-‘Ala’ who has said the following: “I once asked abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who experiences a wet dream and orgasm but when he wakes up, does not find any sign of discharge in his clothes or body. He (the Imam) said, ‘Ghusl (bath) is not necessary on him. 5 He (the Imam) said, ‘Ali (a.s.), would say, “Ghusl (bath) becomes necessary because of major (semen) discharge. If one experiences a wet dream but does not find any sign of semen, Ghusl (bath) is not necessary on him.’””
2ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ احْتَلَمَ فَلَمَّا انْتَبَهَ وَجَدَ بَلَلاً فَقَالَ لَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَرِيضاً فَعَلَيْهِ الْغُسْلُ.
2. Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who dreams and when he wakes up finds moisture and wet spots. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not necessary to do anything unless he suffers from an illness in which case he must take Ghusl (bath).”’ (Fatwa best explains this Hadith.)
3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ إِذَا كُنْتَ مَرِيضاً فَأَصَابَتْكَ شَهْوَةٌ فَإِنَّهُ رُبَّمَا كَانَ هُوَ الدَّافِقَ لَكِنَّهُ يَجِيءُ مَجِيئاً ضَعِيفاً لَيْسَ لَهُ قُوَّةٌ لِمَكَانِ مَرَضِكَ سَاعَةً بَعْدَ سَاعَةٍ قَلِيلاً قَلِيلاً فَاغْتَسِلْ مِنْهُ.
3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz from Zurarah who has said the following: “He (the Imam) has said, ‘When you suffer from an illness and experience orgasm, it may take place with excitement, but if it takes place in a weak manner with less force because of your illness, in intervals little by little, in such case Ghusl (bath) is obligatory.’”
4ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) الرَّجُلُ يَرَى فِي الْمَنَامِ وَيَجِدُ الشَّهْوَةَ فَيَسْتَيْقِظُ وَيَنْظُرُ فَلاَ يَجِدُ شَيْئاً ثُمَّ يَمْكُثُ بَعْدُ فَيَخْرُجُ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ مَرِيضاً فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَرِيضاً فَلاَ شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَمَا فَرْقٌ بَيْنَهُمَا فَقَالَ لأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا كَانَ صَحِيحاً جَاءَ بِدُفْقَةٍ وَقُوَّةٍ وَإِذَا كَانَ مَرِيضاً لَمْ يَجِىْ إِلاَّ بَعْدُ.
4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ibn al-Mughirah from Hariz from ibn abu Ya‘fur who has said the following: “I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), there is a man who experiences wet dream and orgasm. He then wakes up and does not find anything, but after a while discharge takes place. He (the Imam) said, ‘If he suffers from an illness, he must take Ghusl (bath), but if he does not suffer from any illness he is not obligated for Ghusl (bath).’ I then asked him (the Imam), ‘What is the difference between the two cases?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is because in the case of one without illness, it comes spurting and with force, but in the case of one suffering from an illness it comes later.’”
5ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ تَرَى فِي الْمَنَامِ مَا يَرَى الرَّجُلُ قَالَ إِذَا أَنْزَلَتْ فَعَلَيْهَا الْغُسْلُ وَإِنْ لَمْ تُنْزِلْ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا الْغُسْلُ.
5. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman from al- Halabiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a woman who experiences in her dream what a man does. He (the Imam) said, ‘If she experiences discharge Ghusl (bath) is necessary on her; if there is no discharge, Ghusl (bath) is not necessary.’”
