Sunan Ibn Majah 519 (Book 1, Hadith 253) #29871
Purifying Water Basins Used by Animals

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that water basins used by animals can be used for purification, as long as the animals have not contaminated it.

It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that: The Prophet was asked about the water basins located between Makkah and Al-Madinah, which were visited by wild animals, dogs and donkeys, and about using them for means of purification. He said: "Whatever they (the animals) have carried in their bellies is for them, and whatever is left over is for us, and is pure".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُصْعَبٍ الْمَدَنِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ ـ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْحِيَاضِ الَّتِي بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ تَرِدُهَا السِّبَاعُ وَالْكِلاَبُ وَالْحُمُرُ وَعَنِ الطَّهَارَةِ مِنْهَا فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لَهَا مَا حَمَلَتْ فِي بُطُونِهَا وَلَنَا مَا غَبَرَ طَهُورٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad's teachings on purifying water basins used by animals is an important lesson in Islamic law. According to the hadith, if wild animals, dogs and donkeys use a water basin for drinking or bathing, then whatever they have consumed from it is considered impure and should not be used for purification. However, whatever remains in the basin after they have finished with it is considered pure and can be used for purification purposes. This hadith teaches us that we should take care to ensure that our sources of water are clean and uncontaminated before using them for any purpose. It also reminds us of the importance of being mindful of our environment and taking steps to protect it from contamination.
