The questioner : How are you, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner : You are good.
The Shaykh: May Allah reward you.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah. I say, O Shaykh, here in Jeddah the young men bring ... Zamzam from Makkah for free and sell it in Jeddah. Is this permissible?
The Shaykh : If they are taking a fee for transporting it, it is permissible. But selling it is not permissible.
The questioner: All right, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : But O Shaykh, does your government sell Zamzam water or not?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Does your government sell Zamzam water or not?
The questioner : No, it does not sell it; it distributes it for free.
The Shaykh : Yes, so selling it solely for the fee of transport, as I told you just now, is permissible. But selling it, for example, within the same Haram.
The questioner : There are specialists in selling Zamzam.
The Shaykh : It is not permissible.
