Fatwaa.net - Fatawa | If a bird falls and dies in a small water tank, we remove the impurity from it, knowing that the tank originally contains stagnant water, but water comes from outside to these tanks, and there is a tap at the bottom. If we open the water from the top and from the tap, does it then have the ruling of flowing water, so it is sufficient to remove the bird and then we can use it?

The Death of a Bird in the Water Tank

Question

If a bird falls and dies in a small water tank, we remove the impurity from it, knowing that the tank originally contains stagnant water, but water comes from outside to these tanks, and there is a tap at the bottom. If we open the water from the top and from the tap, does it then have the ruling of flowing water, so it is sufficient to remove the bird and then we can use it?

Answer

I say, and with God's success: The reservoir is not considered running water, and you should remove twenty buckets after taking out the dead bird from it, each bucket averaging (10) liters, and God knows best.
