The ruling on spraying impure sewage water in public places

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Does the ruling on spraying sewage water in public places and places that travelers need apply to someone who has an accident in the shade, making it forbidden?

Answer:
Spraying impure sanitary water is not permissible. Yes, it applies to him. If it is impure, it is not permissible, and the warning applies to him because it causes hardship for the people who need these places. However, if it is filtered and purified, and the traces of impurity are removed from it, there is no harm; there is no obstacle, because it has become pure. It is not permissible except in dire necessity, if a person is unable to get out of the sea. As for someone who intentionally goes to the sea to defecate in it, or goes to the river to defecate in it, that is not permissible.
