The Ruling on Performing Wudu with Water from Wells Whose Taste Has Changed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener Ahmad Nasr al-Sayyid, from the Arab Republic of Egypt, who also works in the State of Iraq, says: I work as a driver, and my work is always in the desert. When the time for the midday and afternoon prayers comes, there is no water except the water from wells. Since the water from these wells changes in taste, becoming either salty or bitter, is it permissible to perform wudu with it, or should I perform tayammum?
May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is obligatory for you to perform wudu with water from wells if you are able to do so, whether it is sweet, bitter, or salty. Even seawater: you must perform wudu with it if you are in the sea. [Al-Nisa: 43], and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 522a So if he finds water, even if it is salty or seawater, it is obligatory for him to perform wudu. Yes.
