3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz from Zurarah who has said the following
“I asked him (the Imam), ‘How must a person take Ghusl (bath) because of sexual relation?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If one’s hand is not polluted, one should immerse it in water. One then should begin with one’s private parts and wash them clean with three handfuls of water, then pour three handfuls of water on one’s head, then pour water twice on one’s right shoulder, then on one’s left shoulder and over whatever parts water flows: it is sufficient.’”
3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ
قُلْتُ كَيْفَ يَغْتَسِلُ الْجُنُبُ فَقَالَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَصَابَ كَفَّهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ غَمَسَهَا فِي الْمَاءِ ثُمَّ بَدَأَ بِفَرْجِهِ فَأَنْقَاهُ بِثَلاَثِ غُرَفٍ ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلاَثَ أَكُفٍّ ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَى مَنْكِبِهِ الأيْمَنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَعَلَى مَنْكِبِهِ الأيْسَرِ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَمَا جَرَى عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءُ فَقَدْ أَجْزَأَهُ.
