208 - وَ سَأَلَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ مُوسَى اَلسَّابَاطِيُّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلْحَائِضِ تَغْتَسِلُ وَ عَلَى جَسَدِهَا اَلزَّعْفَرَانُ لَمْ يَذْهَبْ بِهِ اَلْمَاءُ قَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ» وَ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ تَغْتَسِلُ وَ قَدِ اِمْتَشَطَتْ بِقَرَامِلَ وَ لَمْ تَنْقُضْ شَعْرَهَا كَمْ يُجْزِيهَا مِنَ اَلْمَاءِ قَالَ «مِثْلُ اَلَّذِي يَشْرَبُ شَعْرُهَا وَ هُوَ ثَلاَثُ حَفَنَاتٍ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا وَ حَفْنَتَانِ عَلَى اَلْيَمِينِ وَ حَفْنَتَانِ عَلَى اَلْيَسَارِ ثُمَّ تُمِرُّ يَدَهَا عَلَى جَسَدِهَا كُلِّهِ.
Hadith.208 - Ammar ibn Musa al-Sabati asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq 
about a menstruating woman who performs ghusl (ritual bathing) while saffron remains on her body and is not removed by the water.
Imam said: 'There is no harm in it.'
He also asked about a woman who performs ghusl and has braided hair but does not undo it; how much water suffices for her?
Imam said: 'The amount that is absorbed by her hair, which is three handfuls over her head, two handfuls on the right side, and two handfuls on the left side, after which She should run her hands over her entire body.'
