Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on performing wudu from the water coolers when the time for prayer arrives, the restrooms are crowded, and he might miss the prayer if he waits in line for the restrooms? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
They are not intended for wudu. These coolers are not made for wudu, so one should not perform wudu from them. If he wants to perform wudu, he should take some water, go outside the mosque, and perform wudu there. He can take water in a bottle or a container, go outside the mosque, and perform wudu. These coolers are not made for wudu; they are made for drinking. If this door were opened and people were told to perform wudu from them, people would crowd around them, dirty the mosque, and prevent those who are drinking from them.
