The Shaykh : It is not permissible.
The questioner : ... my master... .

The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Yes.
The Shaykh : In answer to your question, the scholars of the Muslims in the books of Islamic history mention that this region is the region that was struck by the punishment of the people of Lut. This is first. Second: there is a hadith in "Sahih al-Bukhari", and from this and that we arrive at the conclusion I presented to you earlier, which is that it is not permissible to use that water.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : In any case, I thank you for your concern for your religion.

The questioner : To complete this question, is visiting those facilities permissible?
The Shaykh : If you mean the meaning of visiting, it is not permissible. Or if you mean the meaning of looking and then turning away and leaving quickly, it is permissible. Yes, Professor, what were we talking about?
The questioner : We were talking about... .
The Shaykh : Yes, that is right. But if it is voluntary, you know that voluntary in the Arabic language we speak means an increase of good, a nafilah. I mean, in the secular home, as you asked, I think you will be unable to perform the obligatory, let alone the voluntary. Is that clear? It is not clear? Subhan Allah.
