Is it permissible to eat fruits whose trees are nourished by sewage water?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to eat fruits whose trees are nourished by sewage water, may Allah honor you?

Answer:
No, it is not to be eaten. If it is nourished by something impure, it is not to be eaten. There is a difference of opinion among the scholars; some say it becomes pure through transformation, while others say that the impure does not become pure through transformation. This is the closest and the stronger position, and Allah knows best, so it is not to be eaten. Yes.
