Prophet (PBUH) said to Hazrat Saad (RA) what waste is this? When Hazrat Saad (R.A.) asked if the water is wasted during Waddo? Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said yes, even if you are performing Waddo on a stream. Misbahuddin Farid said that during a survey it was discovered that 95 per cent of the mosques, religious institutions and imambargahs did not pay their water bills. He appealed to religious scholars, in-charge of mosques and Imambargahs and administrators of religious institutions to check if they were consumers of the KWSB and in case their mosques, institutes or imambargahs were not registered, they might contact the deputy managing director (RRG) for registration.He said that “our religion also preaches us to avoid wastage and other such practices”.
