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

This is an interesting question - I suppose you should ask your Rabbi, or your Imam. He will know the places to go to serch for the correct answer.

I would think, as a lay person, that the water is just H and O2. Isn't that all it is?? H 2O. However, there are religious constraints and your religious leaders need to find out for you. Until then, drink purified water if you are concerned.

Answer 2

there is no trace of pork in your urine, as all is filtered by your stomach, intestines, kidneys and liver. Urine is sterile.
Recycled water means it is purified for up to 10 yrs underground before being consumed again, so it is absolutely clean and safe. Your theory would also fall short on the grounds that all groundwater would currently be poluted through waste products of pigs living off the land as well as abbatoirs being cleaned, etc.
Countries such as Germany have been living off recycled sewage for decades, you wouldn't know the difference...
