The Sufficient (Vol 3) · Hadith 222 (#Ḥadīth #5)

5ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ الأشْعَرِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ الرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَلْمِسُ فَرْجَ جَارِيَتِهِ حَتَّى تُنْزِلَ الْمَاءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُبَاشِرَ يَعْبَثُ بِهَا بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى تُنْزِلَ قَالَ إِذَا أَنْزَلَتْ مِنْ شَهْوَةٍ فَعَلَيْهَا الْغُسْلُ.

5. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Tsma‘il ibn Sa‘d al-Ash’ariy who has said the following: “I once asked al-Rida, Alayhi al-Salam, about a man who touches and plays by his hand with the private parts of his slave-girl without contact of his private part until she feels discharge, is Ghusl (bath) necessary on her? He (the Imam) said, ‘Ghusl (bath) is necessary if discharge is accompanied by orgasm.’”
