Has anyone ever proposed selling bottled zamzam to the mass market?

Question

Some people take some home for their family, but noone's done it on a large scale. I don't know if this would be considered offensive or a blessing. The profit could go to charity, and it's all from a well which is guaranteed never to dry up. Zamzam could easily outsell Evian bottled water in all muslim countries.

Answer 1

you can get zam zam water for free and here in the west it can be bought already in bottled form from many halal markets.  

Answer 2

Yes they have already started doing it in many places in & out of the Kingdom. The Saudies have made small Zam zam jars which is available in airports & other shops 4 Hujjaj.

Bro Faraz; I'm sure K-2 belongs to Pakistan not to the whole world?ZamZam belongs in Saudi & they r letting others take it in abundance alhamdulillah.But planes can carry limited amount of weight so they can't possibly allow tones of zam zam to be taken.

Answer 3

I have 3 bottles in the fridge and they where for FREE.  

Answer 4

I think naming your cola drink Zemzem is a sin itself. You are using people's innocent belief in the power of the zemzem water for you own benefit.

Besides, if it is sold wholesale, somebody may have it analyzed and see that it is no different than any other well water. Worse, somebody may find that tap water is added to it.

Talking about tap water, is zemzem well sanitized with chlorine to prevent diseases? Which underground resources are feeding the well? You see, a city's waste may seep into underground waters and pose great danger for the city's population and tourists.

Your prophet told you to learn science. Never forego science and replace it with superstition.

Edit: Nice! People believe in selling belief! Well, if you are OK with Saudis making money out of hajj, why not sell zemzem, too, isn't it?

Answer 5

Well Brother that's a really Great Idea ! But I don't think saudi Govt will like this ! What they think is that Anything in their country is theirs !!

So most probably they are gonna get offended over ur nice idea !

Answer 6

of course, so many people and companies opened this topic,

selling zamzam is not allowed officially, however there are some quantities sold, but not really big ones. you need very special permission for that.

there used to be little open market for it as well, but i think it was stopped.

the thing is as you mentioned, they don't want to make it commercialized and keep zamzam with its spiritial value.

not sure if they want to preserve the quantity as well ..

as once you start commercializing it, you got 1000 million people market .. for one well
