Sorry, this is incorrect.
The correct answer is : Water has to be shared equally between the she-camel and the tribe, (one day for her and next day for them)
Ref: Surah Al-Qamar 54:28
Arabic:
وَنَبِّئْهُمْ أَنَّ ٱلْمَآءَ قِسْمَةٌۢ بَيْنَهُمْ ۖ كُلُّ شِرْبٍۢ مُّحْتَضَرٌۭ ٢٨
Translation:
And tell them that the ˹drinking˺ water must be divided between them ˹and her˺, each taking a turn to drink ˹every other day˺.”
Tafseer / Explanation:
-
Prophet Ṣāliḥ was instructed to tell his people that water would be shared between them and the she-camel on alternate days.
-
This arrangement was a divine command to test their obedience and patience.
-
Each party (people and camel) would receive their appointed time to drink.
-
The verse shows that even resources like water are under Allah’s control and are distributed with wisdom.
-
It emphasizes cooperation and submission to Allah’s decree, and that defiance of such order leads to punishment.
