Hadith #4

4 - وَ سَأَلَ هِشَامُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلسَّطْحِ يُبَالُ عَلَيْهِ فَتُصِيبُهُ اَلسَّمَاءُ فَيَكِفُ فَيُصِيبُ اَلثَّوْبَ فَقَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ مَا أَصَابَهُ مِنَ اَلْمَاءِ أَكْثَرُ مِنْهُ.

Hadith.4 - Hisham ibn Salim asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq about a man urinating on a roof, then rain falls on it causing water to drip onto clothes. Imam said: "There is no harm in it as long as the water that hits it is more than the urine”.
