What is the ruling on performing wudu' from the water in roadside coolers if the one who endowed them did so for drinking only?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on performing wudu' from the water in roadside coolers? And if one performs wudu' and prays, does he have to repeat the prayer if the one who endowed them did so for drinking only?
The Shaykh:
If the one who endowed them did so for drinking, it is not permissible to use them for wudu' because that is using them for something other than what they were endowed for. And praise be to Allah, there are many public restrooms, widespread and available; you go to them and do not bathe from the coolers prepared for drinking.
The questioner:
And if it is not written on them,
The Shaykh:
Shaykh? It is known that they are for drinking; they were not placed for wudu', and their owner did not place them for wudu', but rather for drinking. Therefore, they are chilled and prepared for drinking. There is no need for this, especially since there are restrooms, bathrooms, and many public latrines. Yes.
