Using zam zam water for istinja
Question
If a person used zam zam water for istinjaa whilst having no other water available, will he be sinful?
Answer
If one has other water besides zam zam, then one should not use zam zam water for istinja. However if no other water was available and one used zam zam water, then one will not be sinful.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
