Madani pearls of avoiding wastage of water

Dear Islamic sisters! Let’s have the privilege to listen to a few Madani pearls of avoiding wastage of water. First of all listen to two blessed sayings of Mustafa صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم:

1. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: There is no goodness in making plenty of water flow during Wudu and this deed is from the devil. (Kanz-ul-‘Ummal, vol. 9, pp. 144, Hadees 26255)

2. Once the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم saw a person performing Wudu, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: Do not waste, do not waste.

(Ibn-e-Majah, vol. 1, pp. 254, Hadees 424)

3. If someone performs Wudu with Waqf water, so using more water than needed is Haraam in the sight of all Islamic scholars.

(Wudu ka Tareeqah, pp. 42)

4. Some people fill water in their hands in a way that water spills. The spilled water is wasted. Care must be taken in this regard.

5. Repent of all past unlawful wastage and make every possible attempt to avoid it in future.

6. During Wudu, open the tap carefully. During Wudu, keep one hand on the tap wherever possible and keep turning the tap off when the water is not needed.

7. Make a habit of turning your tap off completely so that not a single drop of water leaks while using a Miswak, rinsing, gargling, cleaning your nose, doing Khilal of your hands, feet; and wiping your head.
