Is the water of every well in the land where torment descended forbidden, by analogy with the wells of Al-Hijr, due to the commonality of torment descending in both?
It is authentically established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the Companions to spill the water they had drawn from the wells of Thamud and to feed the dough to their camels. He also commanded them to draw water from the well of the she-camel. Some scholars have analogized other such wells to the wells of the people of Lot and others who perished by Allah's punishment due to their disbelief. Al-Ayni and Al-Buhuti mentioned the dislike (karahah) of drinking from and using the waters of these wells, and there was a difference of opinion regarding whether this dislike was one of prohibition (tahreem) or mere disapproval (tanzeeh).
