If the cost of irrigation is simple, for example, like someone who diverts water from rivers to his land?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : May Allah bless you. If the effort and electricity are simple, as with rivers, but it requires, for example, pumping the water and connecting pipes.

Answer : The criterion is extracting the water, not distributing it. Therefore, the water must be distributed, even if there is no cost involved; there must be canals and basins in which the water is held. The criterion is extracting the water.
