What is the ruling on discharging sewage from a house and a mosque into a waterway that passes in front of the house, given that the house is 1400 meters away from the nearest village, there is no other means of drainage, and despite attempts to find alternatives?

If discharging sewage into a waterway harms Muslims, such as by its use for drinking or purification, then it is not permissible due to the prohibition of harming Muslims. However, if it does not cause harm, then there is no objection to it.
