Water
is a gift from Allah.
It is one of the three things that every Muslim
is entitled to: grass (pasture for cattle), water, and fire. Water
should be freely available to all, and
any Muslim who withholds
unneeded water sins against Allah: No one can refuse surplus water
without sinning against Allah and against man. The Hadiths say that
among the three people Allah will ignore on the Day of Resurrection
there will be the man who, having water in excess of his needs, refuses
it to a traveler...
There are two
fundamental precepts that guide the rights to water in the Shari`ah:
shafa, the right of thirst,
establishes the universal right for humans
to quench their thirst and that of their animals; shirb, the right of
irrigation, gives all users the right to water their crops.
Both rules
are interpreted in different ways by the various schools of Islam, and
their implementation varies from region to region, from village to
village, each community applying the law to suit geographical and
social circumstances. Pls READ MORE: http://quran-wa-sunnah.tripod.com/id130.html
