John Shaqi

كَتَبْتُ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ ( عليه السلام ) هَلْ يَجْرِي دَمُ الْبَقِّ مَجْرَى دَمِ الْبَرَاغِيثِ وَ هَلْ يَجُوزُ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَقِيسَ بِدَمِ الْبَقِّ عَلَى الْبَرَاغِيثِ فَيُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ وَ أَنْ يَقِيسَ عَلَى نَحْوِ هَذَا فَيَعْمَلَ بِهِ فَوَقَّعَ ( عليه السلام ) يَجُوزُ الصَّلَاةُ وَ الطُّهْرُ مِنْهُ أَفْضَلُ .


Translation

Ali Bin Muhammad, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Al rayyan who said, ‘I wrote to the man<sup>asws</sup>, ‘Would (the same Law) flow for the blood of the bugs what flows for the blood of the fleas, and it is allowed for anyone that he analogises by the blood of the bugs upon the fleas, so he prays <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> in it, and if he does analogise upon the approximate of this, so can he act upon it?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> signed: ‘The <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> is allowed, and the purification from it is superior’.
