Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Yahya narrated from Ahmad bin Yahya, from Ahmad bin Al-Hasan bin Ali bin Faddal, from Amr bin Sa’id, from Musaddiq bin Sadaqah, from Ammar Al-Sabati, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام:
Imam عليه السلام was asked about a jug or vessel that becomes impure - how should it be washed and how many times? Imam عليه السلام said: "It should be washed three times. Water should be poured into it, stirred, and then poured out. This process should be repeated two more times, and then it will be purified." Imam عليه السلام was also asked about water from which a chicken has drunk. Imam عليه السلام said: "If there is impurity in its beak, do not perform ablution or drink from it. But if you do not know whether its beak had impurity, then perform ablution and drink." Imam عليه السلام said: "Anything whose meat is permissible to eat, its water may be used for ablution and drinking." Imam عليه السلام was asked regarding water from which a hawk, falcon, or eagle has drunk. Imam عليه السلام said: "It is permissible to perform ablution with it unless you see blood in its beak. If you see blood, then do not perform ablution with it or drink from it." Imam عليه السلام said: "Wash a vessel in which a dead mouse is found seven times." Imam عليه السلام was asked about a well in which a dog, mouse, or pig falls. Imam عليه السلام said: "It should be emptied completely. If the water is too much, it should be emptied for a day and a night, and then a group should take turns emptying it in pairs for another day and night, after which it will be purified." Imam عليه السلام was asked about a dog or mouse that eats from bread or similar food. Imam عليه السلام said: "Remove the affected portion and eat the rest." Imam عليه السلام was asked about drinking cow urine. Imam عليه السلام said: "If a person needs it for medicinal purposes, he may drink it, and the same applies to the urine of camels and sheep." Imam عليه السلام was asked about flour contaminated by mouse droppings - can it be eaten? Imam عليه السلام said: "If some of it remains clean, there is no harm in using it. Remove the top portion and discard it." Imam عليه السلام was asked about beetles, flies, locusts, ants, and similar creatures that die in a well, oil, or butter. Imam عليه السلام said: "Anything that does not have flowing blood is pure and poses no harm." Imam عليه السلام was asked regarding a lizard falling into milk, Imam عليه السلام said: "The milk becomes forbidden because it is poisonous." Imam عليه السلام also said: "Everything is considered pure until you are certain that it is impure. Once you know it is impure, then it is considered impure. But if you do not know, there is no obligation upon you."
