Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, it is reported that Hagar used to sell water to the tribe of Jurhum. What is the authenticity of that? And is it permissible to sell Zamzam water?
Answer:
No, it is not befitting to listen to Allah, but when they came to her and asked to settle with her, He the Exalted said: “We have made it easy for you.” And you have no wealth from this, because this was the practice of Abu Isma'il and his people. So she said: You have no wealth from this, but she did not prevent them from drinking; rather, she prevented them from buying in terms of ownership of the wealth.
