The ruling on surplus water in a city and in the desert
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih Muslim 108a does this include the one who has surplus water and is in the city, where there is scarcity in some neighborhoods?
Answer:
This is not included, because he is not in the desert. The one in the city can ask people for water, or from wells, or from water sources. He is in a city, and a city is not established except where there is water, unlike the one in the desert. The desert has no water except the water found in that location. So the situation is different. Yes.
