Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, can we say that the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) drinking of the water of Zamzam after completing the tawaf is considered a customary practice and not an act of worship?
Answer:
No, no one has transmitted this. This is a sunnah (recommended practice). The Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) intention was to do so, and he commanded it. He encouraged drinking from the water of Zamzam, so it is a sunnah (recommended practice), whereas they consider it a customary practice.
