The questioner : We have water troughs, O honorable Shaykh, in the open area where the sheep drink from, and they are less than two qullahs, and the dogs drink from them at night. Is it permissible to perform wudu from that water and wash clothes from it, even though the water is renewed daily?
The Shaykh : Yes. This water is pure, whether it reaches two qullahs or not, unless its taste, color, or smell changes due to impurity, in which case it becomes impure. However, the general rule is that if it is renewed every day, it does not change. Likewise, if it is abundant, the general rule is that it does not change. The principle upon which the ruling is based is that if its taste, color, or smell changes due to impurity, it is impure; and if it does not change, it is pure. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. The questioner, A.A.A., says.
