Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.

It is permissible to use sewage, whether before or after being refined, to irrigate farms and trees, for its impure nature would ultimately turn pure. That is the opinion of the majority of scholars.

Allaah Knows best.
