The ruling on eating vegetables and fruits that grow on sewage water

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on eating vegetables and fruits that grow on sewage water, whether before or after treatment? Or after, or avoiding this, since it has become a matter of concern, avoiding those that are nourished by impurities,

Answer:
Legally, it is not permissible to eat what is nourished by impurities. For this reason, the camel does not drink its milk until it is fed pure food. So what grows from impurities is not permissible to eat, and this includes what grows in the sewers. As for the treated water, I do not know about it; they say it is treated and that the impurity has been removed from it, but I do not know about this. The original ruling is that it is permissible. Yes.
