Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, what is the ruling on performing wudu with the water of Zamzam, and is the hadithSunan Ibn Majah 3062Hasan (Darussalam) an authentic hadith, and what is its meaning?
Answer:
As for whether it is an authentic hadith, no, it is not an authentic hadith; there is discussion regarding it. However, the water of Zamzam is undoubtedly blessed water. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) drank from it, filled himself with it, and encouraged filling oneself with it. There are hadiths about it, and although there is discussion regarding them, they support one another and indicate that this water has a special quality and that it is blessed water. Drinking it is an act of worship; one does not drink it for pleasure, but rather for worship. It is blessed water in which there is healing by the permission of Allah. Its food is taste and its healing is sweetness. So it is blessed, good water, and it is permissible to perform wudu with it, except that the scholars dislike using it for istinja' to remove impurity. As for wudu, there is no harm in it. Yes.
