Q: On returning from hajj, many people’s Zam-zam did not arrive. Thereafter, when we reported the missing Zam-zam, the airport authorities gave us bottles of Zam-zam equal to the number that we were supposed to receive.

2. How should one go about cleaning the equipment prior to using? Is there a specific manner and specific number of times in which it should be cleaned?
