The Virtues of Zamzam Water, Transporting It, and Ruqyah with It

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks about the hadith
The water of Zamzam is for whatever it is drunk for.ماء زمزم لما شرب له
Sunan Ibn Majah 3062Hasan (Darussalam)
, and whether it is permissible to transport it from one place to another, and also about performing ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) with Zamzam water?

Answer:
Zamzam water is blessed water, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us about it and described it with attributes, including that it is food that satisfies and a cure for illness. He commanded that it be drunk in abundance. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) drank from it after completing the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) of 'Umrah. On his way to the place of sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah), he stopped and drank. They handed him a bucket, and he drank from it (peace and blessings be upon him).
So it is blessed water. It contains healing. It contains blessing. It is for what it is drunk for, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The water of Zamzam is for whatever it is drunk for.ماء زمزم لما شرب له.
Sunan Ibn Majah 3062Hasan (Darussalam)
There is no harm in carrying it to any direction. There is no harm in reciting ruqyah over it and drinking it. Yes.
