The Ruling on Seeking Blessing with the Water of Zamzam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh said: Is it permissible to act upon some of the hadiths regarding this, and what is the ruling on seeking blessings in stubbornness and intercession after Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)?
Answer:
Zamzam water is used as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) directed, to be drunk and to be used for ghusl (full ritual bath); this is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) directed. As for seeking healing with it, that has not been established. It was reported that it is a cure for Zamzam, that its food is taste and its cure is for illness, but this was not prescribed for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Matters of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) are not attributed to weak reports or fabrications. No, what is prescribed is to drink it and use it for ghusl, following the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); this is what is prescribed.
