Zam zam

Boiling Zam Zam water

Q: In may 2016 we went to umra from their we brought the Holy zam zam water. Till Ramadan we used it and the remaining half bottle we kept. Now I opened to use and finish the water. I saw some tiny particles like sand not bacteria in the water. Shall we boiled the water and use it?

Mixing zamzam with one's tea

Q: I heard that mixing some zamzam in a glass of water will give the whole glass of water the qualities of zamzam. Will the same be true for a cup of tea - i.e. would it be recommendable that we add a few drops of zamzam to our daily morning tea, giving it the qualities of zamzam?

Diluted Zam Zam

Q: I have a little zam zam left with me and I want to use it everyday. Can I dilute it with distilled water? Will it still be zam zam? What should be the ratio of dilution? The zam zam we get is already diluted or is it direct from the well?

Diluted ZamZam

Q: Does the Hadith "Zamzam is for the purpose it is drunk for" apply also for a small amount of zamzam which has been mixed with tap water? Also, should we recite the dua "Allaahumma innee assaluka ilman nafia [..]" when drinking such diluted zamzam water? I am asking since I heard that the qualities of zamzam remain even after dilution.
