Answer

In the name of Allah, be advised, my son, that the Infallible Imams’ (PBUH) sperms are not impure, a reason why the prophet, Imam Ali, Lady Zahra and the other Infallible Imams (PBUT) can enter the mosque without the washing of Al-Janbat. They used to do such washing in order to be closer to achieving Allah’s orders. On the other hand, if we assume that their bodies are created from the divine light, how come that they were martyred; their bodies will not be affected by Al-Shimr’s sword. Definitely, their bodies are pure where nothing affects their status. Should any of them have any of the soiled impurities on the body or clothing, they would remove the impurity just to comply to Allah’s orders. What do you mean by the light and body? It seems that you do not know the difference between the two. If you say the body is light – my Allah forbid – Allah would also have a body because as He says in the holy verse “Allah is the light of the heavens and earth”. We have reiterated it is not proved that the Infallibles’ nutrition while in the mother’s womb is blood. Only Allah and the Infallibles know how the Infallibles were born out of their mothers’ wombs. However, their bodies are pure. Allah is the all Guide and Knowing.
