Is it permissible to perform ablution with water that comes out of an air conditioner?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible to perform ablution (wudu), ritual bathing (), and remove impurities (najasa) with water discharged from an air conditioner, provided that its color, taste, or smell have not changed. This is because pure and purifying water is absolute water whose three characteristics have not changed. For "Water is pure; nothing makes it impure" except what overwhelms its smell, taste, and color.
