Abstract

In a hadith narrated from Jabir Radliallahu anhu the Messenger of Allah visited a housebelonging to the Ansar with a friend and said to the owner of the house. If you have water in your Qirbah(skin water container) left over from last night, give it to us to drink, otherwise let us drink from itsdirect stream (Sahih Bukhari). For this reason, it is fundamental to investigate on the quality of drinkingwater put away in Qirbah made of animal skin. This aims to study to determine the effect of waterstorage containers (goats skin Qirbah, cow skin Qirbah, buffalo skin Qirbah and plastic) on the physicalproperties of water (pH, conductivity, temperature, oxygen content and total dissolved solid/TDS) andon the growth of E. coli bacteria. The water used is raw well water and boiled water which is stored ingoat skin Qirbah, cow skin Qirbah, buffalo skin Qirbah, plastic and ceramic containers for three days.Then observations and measurements were made every day. The pH, conductivity, temperature, oxygen,TDS and bacterial growth. The results of data analysis showed that the container affected pH, temperature,conductivity, TDS, oxygen level and the growth of E. coli bacteria in raw well water and boiled wellwater. The results showed that there were differences in the quality of drinking water in water storedin Qirbah and plastic and there are also differences in the quality of drinking water in water stored ingoat skin Qirbah, cow skin Qirbah and buffalo skin Qirbah. Qirbah is better than plastic because it caninhibit the growth of bacteria in drinking water
