Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible to seek blessing by bathing with the water of Zamzam, or is the blessing limited to drinking only?

Answer:
It is permissible to drink it, it is permissible to bathe with it, and it is permissible to use it for medical treatment, because it is blessed water. This is not limited to drinking it; rather, it includes sprinkling the skin, sprinkling the head, or sprinkling the place of pain with it, because it is blessed water, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The water of Zamzam is food that satisfies hunger and a cure for sickness.ماء زمزم طعام طعم وشفاء سقم.
