The Ruling on Seeking Blessing with the Water of Zamzam

Question : Shaykh, may Allah bless you. Now, people have come to know that after the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), they go to Zamzam, drink from it, and perform ghusl (the full ritual bath) and wudu' (the ablution for prayer) seeking blessing in this water through the bath, and they wash their children seeking blessing.

Answer : This is one of the bid'ah (religious innovations) that are prohibited, because there is no tabarruk (seeking blessing from a thing or person) in anything except in what is established in the Sunnah (the Prophet's way) only.
