Making wudhu with Zamzam

· 27 Rabiʻ II 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

While performing tawaaf my wudhu broke due to blood coming out from a wound due to the crowd. I renewed my wudhu with zam zam water so is my wudhu and tawaf valid?

Answer

Yes, your tawaaf is valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

يجوز الوضوء والغسل بماء زمزم عندنا من غير كراهة بل ثوابه أكبر وفصل صاحب لباب المناسك آخر الكتاب فقال: يجوز الاغتسال والتوضؤ بماء زمزم إن كان على طهارة للتبرك فلا ينبغي أن يغتسل به جنب ولا محدث ولا في مكان نجس ولا يستنجي به ولا يزال به نجاسة حقيقة وعن بعض العلماء تحريم ذلك (حاشية الطحطاوي صـ 22)
