Giving Zam-zam to a Non-Muslim
Question
Is it permissible to give Zam-zam to a non-Muslim?
Answer
If the kaafir regards the Zam-zam as a thing of blessing and he will not show any disrespect to it, it will be permissible to give him the Zam-zam to drink. However, if other water is available, one should rather give him that water to drink instead of Zam-zam.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
