Recycled water?

Question

Recycled water?

if people eat pork and it goes into sewage after there bodies have finished with it,

the sewage gets recycled into drinking water

is it then ok for persons of a religion that does not consume pork to drink recycled waste water

as the water is not pure

and is it not halal

Answer 1

That's hysterical! Actually, I worked for a very large water company and it is possible to recycle water to a degree where it is potable. Recycled drinking water already happens in London and Singapore.

It's just that Australians aren't used to the idea yet, and currently the technology makes it very expensive.

But I guess you're right. It's VERY indirect though, right? And I think the law for Halal is that you need to take every precaution possible to discern whether it's pure or not, and after that you're in the clear.

Answer 2

wont have any choice in a lot of places in Aussie soon it will be recycled water or nothing

Answer 3

when you consider the natural water cycle, and understand that all the water on planet earth is recycled continuously, you have to accept that there is absolutely no water that has not been through the sewer at some point, hence there is no "pure" water available to the vast majority of people on the planet (except , possibly ice from the core of a glacier).  Sorry 'bout that...  The logic of some religious dogma is a bit touchy, and I won't go there, but I would like to know why drinking water could possibly be forbidden, since without it, one dies...

Answer 4

A complicated question - an easy answer - desperate times call for immediate attention - go the recycled option - desalinated water tastes terrible!!!

Answer 5

All the world already recycles... Matter cannot be created nor destroyed... it merely changes form... check basic high school science to verify this.  So get used to the idea that your food and drink have been other things at one time or another anyway.  Natural process or people intervening... does it matter?  I doubt it.  It is all recycled anyway.

Answer 6

I don't think recycled water is considered potable...

Answer 7

whats the difference,say a wild pig dies in the bush in one of the water catchments and you drink normal water that this pig has died in,same thing but how would you know?

should the world revolve around people who hate pigs for a religious reason?-i think not.

MC Donald's now sells halal meat in its burgers in some stores,why should i be forced to eat this meat when im not a muslim-simple i get it somewhere else,same goes for the water, by bottled if you don't like it.
