1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ إِذَا اغْتَسَلْتَ بَعْدَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ أَجْزَأَكَ غُسْلُكَ ذَلِكَ لِلْجَنَابَةِ وَالْجُمُعَةِ وَعَرَفَةَ وَالنَّحْرِ وَالْحَلْقِ وَالذَّبْحِ وَالزِّيَارَةِ وَإِذَا اجْتَمَعَتْ عَلَيْكَ حُقُوقٌ أَجْزَأَهَا عَنْكَ غُسْلٌ وَاحِدٌ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَكَذَلِكَ الْمَرْأَةُ يُجْزِئُهَا غُسْلٌ وَاحِدٌ لِجَنَابَتِهَا وَإِحْرَامِهَا وَجُمُعَتِهَا وَغُسْلِهَا مِنْ حَيْضِهَا وَعِيدِهَا.

Published English translation

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz from Zurarah who has said the following: “He (the Imam) has said, ‘If you take a Ghusl (bath) after dawn, it is sufficient for Ghusl (bath) because of sexual relations, for Friday, the day of ‘Arafah, (ninth of Dhul Hajjah), tenth of Dhul Hajjah, for shaving (during Hajj), offering sacrifice and visiting the House (al-Ka‘bah). One Ghusl (bath) suffices many reasons for it.’ He (the narrator) has said that he (the Imam) then said, ‘So also is the case with women. One Ghusl (bath) suffices for sexual relation, assuming the state of ‘Ihram, Friday, Hayd (menses) and for her ‘Id.’”
