Usage concept is a wide concept encompassing every aspect of human life, including the aspect of water usage. Otherwise, negative attitudes such as irresponsibility and extravagant may need to be avoided, even in ablution matter. Even though Islam emphasises on cleanliness and sanctity, however it never allows excessiveness in water usage arbitrarily. The focus of this study is to investigate the role of nas qatcie in al-Qur’an and al-Sunnah and at the same time, this study also would highlight the explanation regarding issues on ablution by Muslims scholars as per suggested by Islamic laws without affecting water resource cycle. Other than that, this study applied qualitative research method for the purpose of analysing documents related to environment, usage concept, as well as ethics in ablution as per suggested by Islamic law. The research findings suggested that Islam prohibits excessiveness in achieving perfection in ablution. Islam however has guided that wasteful practice is not supposedly occur as such practice has been degraded in Islam; as per agreed upon by Muslim scholars. Furthermore, Islamic laws have guided the suitable ablution rate for the purpose of maintaining and prospering the nature; in line with the role of humans as the caliphs throughout their lives on this Earth. Therefore, as a concern citizen, the act of excessiveness shall not be practiced as it is not a positive routine. This is to ensure the balance of the nature, particularly the water source, hence it could be shared equally with each and every of us, as well as the next generation.
