The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “(The water of Zamzam is for what it is drunk for).” Is it permissible for me to mention my need when I drink the water of Zamzam?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It is reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: Imam Ibn al-Mubarak (may Allah have mercy on him) says that when he drank the water of Zamzam, he would say, “I am drinking it for the thirst of the Day of Resurrection.” If one needs something from the needs of this world, such as healing from an illness, or wants a child, or something else, he should mention his need when he drinks the water of Zamzam, following the action of Imam Ibn al-Mubarak (may Allah have mercy on him).

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. There is nothing wrong with it. It is for what it is drunk for, whether for an illness, be it a physical illness or an illness of infertility, an illness that prevents procreation which Allah removes, or otherwise. It is blessed water; it contains healing and food. It is food for taste and healing for sickness. A person drinks it for food, because it strengthens and nourishes. A person drinks it to seek healing from it. A person drinks it to seek blessing from it, because it is blessed water. Yes.
