Cleaning Oneself with the Water of Zamzam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah have mercy on you, my brother the questioner. Is it not permissible to be modest and perform istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself) with water from the side?
Answer:
It is disliked to use Zamzam water for istinja' or to wash away ritual impurity with it, because it is noble water, and it is disliked to use it to remove impurity or for cleaning oneself. However, there is no harm in using it for wudu' (ablution) or ghusl (the full ritual bath).
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
