Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, who holds that water is divided into two categories, is wudu' valid for them using broth, for example?
Answer:
My brother, broth is not water, coffee is not water, and tea is not water. It is not permissible for you to perform wudu' with them. If I were to say to you, “Bring me water,” and you brought me broth, would that be valid? It is not valid. So this is not water. Yes.
