Tips on refraining from wasting water

Dear Islamic brothers, here are some tips on how to avoid wasting water from Maulana Ilyas Qadiri’s booklet “Method of Wudu”. First, let us look at two sayings of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم:

1.      There is no goodness in using excessive amounts of water during wudu; it is an action inspired by the Devil.[1]

The Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم saw someone performing wudu and said, “Do not waste, do not waste.”[2]

*   If wudu is performed using water that is religiously endowed (waqf), to use more than required is unanimously forbidden.[3]

*   Some people allow water to overflow out of their hands when filling their cupped palms. Care should be taken to avoid this.[4]

*   If you have wasted water, you should repent and try your best to avoid doing so in the future. 

*   Open the tap carefully during wudu. Whenever possible, keep one hand on the tap and turn it off when water is not needed.
