The ruling on believing in the healing properties of water other than Zamzam

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who believes that the water of a well other than the well of Zamzam heals, and that bathing in it with the intention of healing? Is this correct?

Answer:
I do not know about that, I do not know about that. Only for the well of Zamzam did the hadiths come, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to drink from it and quench his thirst. As for other waters, if it is claimed that there is healing in it or a special property, the matter is referred to doctors who analyze and treat. It is possible that some waters contain salinity or something that resists certain diseases. It has a property, for Allah did not send down a disease except that He sent down a cure for it, and its knowledge is with those who know it, and it is carried by those who came. There may be a cure in some waters, and this is referred to to the specialists and the people of medicine.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
