The Ablution with Water from a Well Whose Properties Have Changed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa Number ( 10972 )
Q: We are located in the desert for a period of more than four months, and we have a well of water that is not fit for drinking, and it has a color in its water, and we do not drink from it, and its taste is salty. My question is: is it permissible to perform ablution for prayer from it or what? And we have been performing ablution from it during this period, as it is a time when it has a smell
and when it cools, it has a white color, and we have not found any other substitute, may Allah reward you with good.
A: Praise be to Allah alone, and blessings and peace be upon His Messenger, his family, and his Companions.. After that: If the water in the well remains in its original created state, it is pure, and ablution with it is valid, and neither its long duration nor the saltiness of its taste harms its purity. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
