What is the ruling on performing wudu with the water of Zamzam?

Question:
The questioner asks about the ruling on performing wudu' with the water of Zamzam.

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with performing wudu' with the water of Zamzam, but the jurists dislike using it for istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself) or for washing away najasah (ritual impurity), because it is noble water and should not be degraded by washing away impurity. However, there is nothing wrong with using it for wudu'. But what many people do now is perform wudu' from the drinking jars; this is not permissible, because these jars are intended for drinking, not for wudu'. There are designated places for wudu', such as the restrooms located around the Haram. As for the water placed in these barrels or containers, it is for drinking and not for wudu'. It also dirties the mosque; it dirties the mosque with the water. So this is not permissible. Go, my brother, to the restrooms and perform wudu'. Yes.
