What is the ruling on using Zamzam water for istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself) and wudu' (ablution)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on using Zamzam water for istinja' and wudu'?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, except that they said it is disliked to use it for istinja' and for removing najasah (ritual impurity), from the perspective of makruh (disliked) by way of recommendation, and otherwise there is no evidence against it. The default is that there is nothing wrong with using it to remove impurity, for cooking, for drinking, and for ghusl (full ritual bath); there is nothing wrong with that, because there is no evidence prohibiting it. Yes.
