5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from al-Hassan ibn ‘Rashid who has said the following
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), if a woman because of Hayd (menses) is required to make Qada’ (compensatory) Salat (prayer). He (the Imam) said, ’No, she is not required.’ I then asked about fasting. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, she must make Qada’ (compensatory fast for) fasting missed during experiencing Hayd (menses).’ I then asked on what basis it is so.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘The first one who used analogy was Iblis (Satan).’ I then asked, ‘Can a person fasting stay in water?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so.’ I then asked, ‘Can he wear wet clothes?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No, he cannot do so.’ I then asked, ‘On what basis is this?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is from that (there is no analogizing in religion)’ I asked, ‘Can a fasting person use sweet basil?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No, because it is a pleasure which is undesirable to enjoy.’”
5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) الْحَائِضُ تَقْضِي الصَّلاةَ قَالَ لا قُلْتُ تَقْضِي الصَّوْمَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ مِنْ أَيْنَ جَاءَ ذَا قَالَ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَنْ قَاسَ إِبْلِيسُ قُلْتُ وَالصَّائِمُ يَسْتَنْقِعُ فِي الْمَاءِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ فَيَبُلُّ ثَوْباً عَلَى جَسَدِهِ قَالَ لا قُلْتُ مِنْ أَيْنَ جَاءَ ذَا قَالَ مِنْ ذَاكَ قُلْتُ الصَّائِمُ يَشَمُّ الرَّيْحَانَ قَالَ لا لأَنَّهُ لَذَّةٌ وَيُكْرَهُ لَهُ أَنْ يَتَلَذَّذَ.
