What is the ruling on performing wudu' from large basins in which all the people perform wudu'?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In one of the countries where there are Muslims, the method for the places of wudu' was large basins into which water is poured through taps, and the water is moving. The men gather at these basins and perform wudu' from them, including rinsing the mouth and sniffing water into the nose in this water. Is it permissible to perform wudu' in this way? Is it flowing or is it stationary in the basins?

Answer:
If it is stationary, it is not permissible. But if it is flowing and changing, there is no harm in that. If you come to my tap, or something that moves, you perform wudu' in the middle of it, and the water that is used goes away and new water comes in. There is no harm in what does not contradict this.
