What is the ruling on performing tawaf while carrying bottles of zamzam water to be used as a base remedy, and how does it affect the tawaf?

Some pious people have done this, but the Prophet SAW did not; he drank zamzam water and made supplication after tawaf.

Summary
Some pious people have done this, but the Prophet SAW did not; he drank zamzam water and made supplication after tawaf. Zamzam water is effective and a cure according to many texts, and its effect follows the intention of the one who drinks it. Therefore it is unnecessary to carry it during tawaf, as it may spill on others or distract one from worship and remembrance of God.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, tidaklah perlu dibawa tawaf kerana dibimbangi tertumpah atas seseorang atau hilang konsentrasi untuk beribadah dan berzikir ketika tawaf dengan niat menjaga air zamzam itu
