The Shaykh : Tanks?
The questioner : No, the coolers in a place designated for coolers, about twenty coolers.
The Shaykh : Basins?
The questioner : Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh : These appear to be prepared; this basin means it is prepared for wudu.
The questioner : It is prepared for drinking.
The Shaykh : No, I don't think so, for drinking?
The questioner : For drinking, next to the restrooms on the side of al-Marwah.
The Shaykh : Well, it is well known.
The questioner : Tanks?
The Shaykh : No, tanks are not permissible; tanks are not permissible because when they run out, they dry out. But the pipes on the walls, yes, on the roof and on the second floor.
The questioner : Other than the ones on the roof; the ones on the roof are prepared for wudu.
The Shaykh : In any case, I think that what comes without refilling is fine, if Allah wills, as long as it does not harm the mosque.
