The reason for the change in the water of the Well of Buday'ah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the hadith of the Well of Buday'ah, how did we determine that the reason for the change was not impurity, even though the impurity, as mentioned, was apparent in it and thrown into it?
Answer:
Yes, we determined it, because the intended meaning is that it changed due to stagnation or its flow, because if it had changed due to impurity, they would not have performed ablution from it, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not perform ablution from it, so this indicates that this change is not due to impurity, but rather due to something else, which is stagnation, because when water stagnates, when it remains in the well, its smell changes, if it is not drawn out and agitated, this change is something known among people and among the Bedouins. Yes.
