The Ruling on Sun-Exposed Water and Urine in Stagnant Water

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on stagnant water in the sun?

Answer:
There is no harm; the sun is not a problem. The reports regarding sun-exposed water are invalid; they are not authentic. Likewise, urinating in stagnant water is prohibited, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited it in the hadith of Abu Hurayrah regarding urinating in stagnant water. This is because stagnant water is affected; if people urinate in it, the urine accumulates, and it may become altered, thereby becoming ritually impure. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) blocked the means to harm and prohibited urinating in stagnant water so that it would not lead to its becoming impure and foul.
