Is it permissible to drink from a well into which a dead child has fallen?
It is permissible to drink from the well water mentioned if it has not changed. It is recommended to draw water from it before drinking and using it for worship, based on the hadith of العلامة Khalil Al-Maliki in Al-Mukhtasar, where it is recommended to draw water if a terrestrial animal with flowing blood dies in stagnant, non-vast water, until the moistures that came out of its mouth are removed. The amount of water to be drawn should be proportionate to the animal and the water.
