Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the hadithSunan an-Nasa'i 3666Da'if (Darussalam), sometimes in the two Holy Mosques, people prefer that we distribute milk or juice to them because they have free Zamzam water available. Does giving milk and juice in charity fall under the best charity?
Answer:
There is no doubt that this is food. Juice is food. There is no doubt that it is better than water. Yes.
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the hadith
He said: "What kind of charity is best?" He said: "Providing drinking water."
