Is drinking from the Egyptian "qullah" considered drinking from the mouth of a waterskin, which is prohibited, and what is the ruling on reciting the Quran over water to be used for drinking or bathing?

Drinking from the aforementioned pitcher is akin to drinking directly from the mouth of a waterskin, as they share some of the reasons for the prohibition. These include: the presence of an animal in the container, spilling water, cutting off the flow, contaminating the water with the drinker's saliva thereby making it repulsive to others, or damaging the container. The prohibition is for the sake of purification (tanzīh) and not an absolute ban, as it is authentically reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, drank standing from the mouth of a suspended waterskin.
