Islam urges us to preserve water sources to keep them pure and away from all types of pollution that may change any of its descriptions. In this hadith, Jaber ibn Abdullah narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade urinating in stagnant water for this act will lead to pollute and make the water dirty when people use it. It also makes it unsuitable for bathing. In another hadith, he also forbade bathing in it. In the Two Sahihs, Abu Hurairah narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "None of you is allowable to urinate in stagnant water, which is not flowing, then wash in it." A Muslim is commanded to preserve all types of water, flowing or stagnant, especially the latter, for it is unrenewable and subject to be corrupted if a person throws impurities into it such as urine and the like..
