Can water with a bad smell be used for purification?

We’ve dug a hole while is 950ft deep and about 800ft filled with water, however, there is Sulphur in the hole therefore the water has the smell of Sulphur in it. Can we use this water for ablution, taking baths, washing clothes etc.?

الجوابُ حامِدا ًو مُصلیِّا ً

If the water has the smell of Sulphur, but its color or taste has not changed, while still maintaining the natural qualities of water (i.e. its thinness and ability to flow), then it will be permissible to perform ablution, take baths and wash clothes with this water.
And Allah knows best.
