The Shaykh : The dam.
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace.
The questioner : This questioner says: He has camels and sheep on the side of a valley. He says: And sewage water flows in this valley, and these animals drink from it. Is it permissible to eat their meat and drink their milk?
The Shaykh : Yes. There is no harm in eating their meat and drinking their milk, because they are only drinking. The *jalalah* (animals that eat impure feed) about which the scholars said: Its meat and milk are forbidden until it is confined and fed pure food for three days. They say: It is the one whose feed is mostly impure. This is drinking, not feed, from one aspect. From another aspect: I have heard that these sewers have substances added to them that remove the impurity. No trace of impurity remains, neither in color, nor taste, nor smell. If the matter reaches this point, the water becomes pure. If it touched your clothes, you would not be required to wash it. If it is true that what I was told is correct, that substances are thrown into it that break it down and remove the impurity, neither color, nor taste, nor smell. Yes.
