Drinking from the water of Zamzam is a recommended practice

Question: Is there an authentic hadith regarding the benefit of the water of Zamzam?

Answer: The water of Zamzam has been indicated by authentic hadiths to be noble water and blessed water. It is established in the authentic collections that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding Zamzam: . In a narration in Abu Dawud with a good chain, it was added: .
This hadith indicates its virtue, that it is food that satisfies hunger and a cure for sickness, and that it is blessed. It is a recommended practice to drink from it, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) drank from it, and because of the blessing it contains. It is good food, blessed food, and food from which it is prescribed to take when it is available, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. This authentic hadith indicates the aforementioned virtue of it, that it is blessed, that it is food that satisfies hunger and a cure for sickness, and that it is recommended for the believer to drink from it when it is available to him. It is permissible to perform ablution with it, and it is also permissible to use it for cleaning oneself after relieving oneself, and to perform the full ritual bath for major ritual impurity if there is a need for it.
It is established that the water gushed forth from between his fingers (peace and blessings be upon him), and then the people took what they needed from this water to drink, to perform ablution, to wash their clothes, and to clean themselves. All of this occurred. If the water of Zamzam is not like the water that gushed forth from between the fingers of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), it is not above that; both are noble water. So if it is permissible to perform ablution, take a bath, clean oneself, and wash clothes with the water that gushed forth from between his fingers (peace and blessings be upon him), then it is likewise permissible with the water of Zamzam.
In any case, it is pure, good water, and it is recommended to drink from it. There is no blame in performing ablution with it, no blame in washing clothes with it, and no blame in using it to clean oneself if there is a need for it. Praise be to Allah.
