pre-prayer washing fountain


Explanation:
Namaz öncesi temizlenme çeşmesi.

İngilizce'de ''ablution''dan daha çok washing kelimesi kullanılıyor günlük dilde. Ablution biraz eski dil izlenimi veriyor.

shadirvan


Explanation:
There is no precise equivalent term in English. One option would be to use the actual word itself, preferably in italics. For example, it is used in the title of the following academic article:

The "Salsabil" and "Shadirvan" in Medieval Islamic Courtyards
