fasting
1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ الصَّائِمُ يَسْتَنْقِعُ فِي الْمَاءِ وَلا يَرْتَمِسُ رَأْسُهُ.
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘A man fasting can stay in water but cannot immerse his head in it.’”
