[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ that some people who were fishermen in the sea came to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we are people of Armath and we only have a small amount of water. If we drink from it, there would not be enough for us to perform ablution, and if we perform ablution with it, there would not be enough for us to drink. Can we perform ablution with sea water?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes, its water is pure, and its dead creatures are lawful."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ جَاءَهُ نَاسٌ صَيَّادُونَ فِي الْبَحْرِ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا أَهْلُ أَرْمَاثٍ وَإِنَّا نَتَزَوَّدُ مَاءً يَسِيرًا إِنْ شَرِبْنَا مِنْهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ مَا نَتَوَضَّأُ بِهِ وَإِنْ تَوَضَّأْنَا مِنْهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ مَا نَشْرَبُ أَفَنَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ مَاءِ الْبَحْرِ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ نَعَمْ فَهُوَ الطَّهُورُ مَاؤُهُ الْحِلُّ مَيْتَتُهُ
