Fathwa, - The rationale behind considering Istinjaa’ withthe water of Zamzam disliked

Question
What is the ruling on performing Istinjaa' (purification after
relieving oneself) with the water of Zamzam?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
, is His Slave and Messenger.
Imaam An-Nawawi reported in his book Al-Majmoo' that Al-Maawardi
mentioned that Istinjaa' with the water of Zamzam is valid by the
consensus of Muslim scholars.
However, many Muslim jurists considered it disliked to use the water
of Zamzam in removing impurities, including Istinjaa', yet they ruled
that it is valid. The rationale behind considering it disliked is that
the water of Zamzam is a blessed water. Ibn Al-Qayyim said: " Zamzam
water is the best and noblest of all waters, the highest in status,
the dearest to people, and the most precious and priceless to them. It
was dug by Jibreel and it quenched the thirst of Ismaa'eel . "
As for using the water of Zamzam for ablution and Ghusl, it is
permissible without any dislike, for itwas reported in Al-Musnad and
was authenticated by Shaykh Ahmad Shaakir on the authority of 'Ali ibn
Abi Taalib that the Prophet , " asked for a pot containing Zamzam
water and drank and performed ablution from it . "
