    Title: Mustamal water

    Question: If ghusl becomes obligatory and she takes ghusl from a bucket of water, will the water become mustamal even if hands are washed before putting it into the bucket? I have read that the water becomes mustamal only when the hands are not washed before putting it into the bucket.

    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 510/405/B=04/1435) No, this water does not turn used up (musta’mal), only the water which is used with the intention of wudhu or ghusl or removal of hadath (impurity) becomes musta’mal.
