Does the prohibition on building for Jews include infrastructure, and what is the ruling on extending main water lines that serve Palestinian villages while leaving valves near settlements?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to work in construction for the occupying Jews of Palestine, whether in infrastructure or otherwise. However, there is no harm in building specifically for the people of Palestine. It is permissible to work in what was mentioned because the benefit accrues to the Palestinian villages.
