Water theft affects all
The figures announced by the Ministry of Water and Irrigation in Jordan reveal that more than 77 billion liters of water have been stolen since 2023 through over 50,000 violations of domestic connections. This volume exceeds the capacity of King Talal Dam, which stores approximately 75 million cubic meters of water, highlighting that such theft harms the limited water resources and makes them more vulnerable to shortages. A fatwa issued by the Department of Islamic Legal Rulings confirms that water theft is forbidden (haram) under Sharia law and calls for repentance and returning what has been stolen. It also emphasizes that the harm extends beyond individuals to affect society and the state. The responsibility is placed on the government to control these violations, improve network management, and reduce losses. This issue has moral and national dimensions, underscoring that water theft is an encroachment on a scarce resource that everyone depends on. Respecting justice and legislation is essential to stop this phenomenon.
