Eating from the fruit of trees whose roots extend into the sewage system
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: We have trees, and in fact, in the yard of our house, there are many, including sugar palms and other date palms. Their roots, O Shaykh, extend into the sewage system. Do we eat from their fruit?
Answer:
If they are drinking from impure water, it is disliked to eat their fruit, provided that you have verified this. However, if they are watered with known water, but you fear that their roots—fearing this—do not harm, if Allah wills. Yes.
