Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
As for the first question of this night, the questioner asks: Is it permissible to perform wudu with Zamzam water that has a sign on it saying it is for drinking only, in the Haram?
Answer:
[Al-Fatihah 1:1-2] And may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad. The default ruling is that it is permissible to perform ritual purity with any pure water, with any pure water. However, if this water has been set aside for a specific purpose, it is not permissible to divert it from that purpose. Since it was set aside for drinking, it is not permissible for you to perform wudu with it. And the places for wudu, praise be to Allah, are numerous to the right and left of the Haram. You can go and perform wudu from them. As for crowding the drinkers and using the endowment for something other than what it was established for, that is not permissible. Yes.
