Question

When we go to Durban, we bring the ocean water for our Christian maid who is now Alhamdulillah, a Muslimah. However, I am concerned of our Imaan. I don’t know what they use it for, but most probably for bathing or something of that sort. What should I do?

Answer

We understand that the water is consumed to clean the stomach hence, there is no problem in using the water for this purpose.
