Prayer and worship in the Holy Land
Is the blessing and virtue of Zamzam water limited to the Haram areas, and what is the ruling on taking Zamzam water out of Makkah and Madinah?
Answer in brief
The blessing and virtue of Zamzam water are not tied to the sanctity of the Haram. The hadiths about it are general, so its virtue remains wherever the water is taken, unless there is evidence that binds it to the Haram. The fatwa reports that scholars agree it is permissible to carry Zamzam water to other lands for seeking blessing, based on the report that the Prophet SAW carried it. The Maliki scholars regard it as recommended, and Ibn Taymiyyah considers it permissible.
Summary written by DHUMY from the Malay original and checked against it.
Dr. Nasir bin Abdur Rahman telah menyatakan di dalam kitabnya bahawa para ulama telah sepakat mengenai keharusan membawa air zamzam ke seluruh negeri bagi tujuan bertabarruk (mengambil berkat) dengannya.
