Question
What is the ruling on a water tank with a capacity of two cubic meters, in which a dead gecko was found? Is it permissible to use the water from the tank?

I say, and with God's help: The water reservoir with this small amount of water, we must remove the dead animal and then draw out twenty buckets, each bucket containing ten liters, to purify what remains of the water, and God knows best.
