Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. In his final question, the Honorable Shaykh says: We have a neighborhood where the water supply has been cut off for a period of time, and the residents have started buying water and bringing it to us from somewhat long distances. However, we found that the taste of the water has changed slightly, perhaps due to the source or the containers. Is it permissible to perform wudu and ghusl with it, given that the sea is not far from us?

Answer:
Yes, it is permissible to perform ghusl with water, even if its smell has changed, provided one does not know that it changed due to impurity. If one does not know that the change was caused by impurity, then it is permissible to purify oneself with it. Yes.
