Ikrimah narrates: "Whoever finds nothing except nabidh, he may perform ablution with nabidh." Imam Awza'i states: "If the nabidh is intoxicating, then a man should not perform ablution with it." The narrator named Abdullah reports: My father stated: "Every thing that cannot be called water, in my view the preferred opinion is: a man should not perform ablution with it, and I prefer more that a man should perform tayammum rather than perform ablution with nabidh."
