Question
Assalamu alaykum,
I was told that when you drink Zam Zam water you have to stand up to drink it. Is this true? As far as I know it is makruh (disliked) to drink water standing up.
Please clarify. Jazak Allah khair.
Answer
The Sunnah of the Prophet (saaws) is to drink while sitting. Drinking from Zamzam water is not exempt from this rule.
