Rules regarding Taking a Loan to Supply Water
Issue No.624- If it is inevitable for a person who has to acquire water to borrow [money for] it, it is obligatory to do so. However, if he knows or it is so likely that he cannot afford to pay it back, it is not obligatory for him [to borrow it]. Also, if a person gives him some water for free and his acceptance does not entail hardship or any sense of obligation towards the individual, he should accept it.
