5. Muhammad ibn Yahya and others has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad from al-Sayyariy from Muhammad ibn Ali al- Hamadaniy from Hanan ibn Sadir who has said the following
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who stays in water when he is fasting. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful, but he must not immerse himself in it and a woman must not stay in water, because she carries water in her urethra.’”
5ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى وَغَيْرُهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ السَّيَّارِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْهَمَذَانِيِّ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ الصَّائِمِ يَسْتَنْقِعُ فِي الْمَاءِ قَالَ لا بَأْسَ وَلَكِنْ لا يَنْغَمِسُ فِيهِ وَالْمَرْأَةُ لا تَسْتَنْقِعُ فِي الْمَاءِ لأَنَّهَا تَحْمِلُ الْمَاءَ بِفَرْجِهَا.
